Thai Giant - Colocasia - Doing great

Meet Gigantor.  Back in February or March we got our first colocasia Thai Giant, and even though he got a slow start in the cool winter weather, Gi is clearly ahead of his younger brothers.   The Thai Giant is the largest Colocasia, with each leaf growing to 6 feet long and 5 feet across, and the whole plant growing 9 feet tall.  Can't wait! 

This is one of the younger Thai Giant's....   King Kong.

And Godzilla.


Another view of Gigantor, with three majesty palms behind him to block the wind.

The coolest part of these colocasias and alocasia's is how the new leaf bursts out of the stem of the last leaf...  it emerges and then explodes into a huge leaf.
