Colocasia esculenta 'Fontanesii' syn. Colocasia esculenta 'Black Stem'

Do any of my fellow GTers have one of these? I'm thinking of adding to my #tropical collection and wondered if you knew much about them? 🤔

It seems that @drnicko is the bloke to ask about these

Oh thank you I'll tag him 😃👏👏 @Opuntia

@drnicko do you know anything about these please? 😊

Thanks Lee! 😃👏 @lee85

Bought a bulb at weekend. Looks like a small cannonball!!

Ooh fab! Did you buy from a garden centre @harwick1514 🤔

@hayleyaj It was at Dobies Ponteland near Newcastle. Think I will have to keep it inside except for height of summer but just looks so unusual and I am a sucker for something a bit different. Although having read up a bit on internet it seems that you can buy similar bulbs in Caribbean style food shops for fraction of price of garden centre as they are edible!!

Yes I read they were edible! I like something a bit different. I'll treat it like my banana and it will go out June to Sept 😃 @Hawick1514
