Colocasia esculenta syn. Colocasia antiquorum

And this is the bulb from the other one, that grew huge! Now cut back and drying out to store

Wow, that’s impressive.

It’s rather large now Sarah! It was the size a medium spud 🥔 when I planted it! @sieveheadsarah

I really must give them a try next year Hayley, I’m thinking I’ll find Taro (it’s other name) in a supermarket 🤔🤔

@sieveheadsarah you sure will! They're easy to find in Asian grocery stores.

Blimey that’s huge !!

Oh yes Ruth, that’s a good idea 👍🏼 @sushiwaitress

So…this one refuses to grow apart from one small green shoot all summer. But now it’s Autumn and in the greenhouse, of course it’s growing! 😂😂

I seem to kill these for some reason 🤔

They like to sit in a tray of water during the growing season, very thirsty plants @juliesgarden

Thanks hun , ill give them another go next year 👍🏻😘

I do like these! Would they overwinter in a coldframe okay Hayley?

The best thing is to dry out the bulb, store and start again in Spring, as they need warmth. I have done that with my others, this one has only just started to grow after being in the greenhouse all summer 😁 @italydiva

Thanks so much Hayley 😀

And bigger and bigger the leaves get! Pic on right taken beginning of the week, on the left taken just 😀🤩
