Brian's Botanicals This plant was grown by Kean in Indiana. He may have grown the largest plant yet?

Looks a bit like rhubarb to me. I might have to ask Ken to be positive on the ID.

Brian's Botanicals This is a photos of Mark Currys Colocasia Gigantea. Mark works for me and took 3 plants home. These plants were in 4 inch pots and they were planted a bit late in the season. I believe he got them just over 8 feet tall. With morning sun and afternoon shade.
Here is Mark with his plant this was taken mid summer and it grew larger than this photo.

Brian's Botanicals Cool weather has started coming in to Kentucky. We have started bringing in all the tender tropicals for the year. A lot of plants will be tested for cold hardiness it seems this season.

The IAS now has a facebook account. If you are not familiar with the IAS it is the International Aroid Society. This society deals in all the plants of the Araceae family such as Alocasia Colocasia Amorphophallus Philodendrons and so one. Many of the plants I sell and grow are in this family and if you are as crazy abo...ut these plants as me joining the IAS is a must. Here is a link to both their website and their new Facebook account

Brian-I had NO idea you had a Facebook! I always click on ONLINE store everytime I hit your home page, so I warp right past it...glad I found you! I am going to try to make it to Louisville to visit you in person...I've been DROOLING over your website for quite a few years now, and your site is what convinced me that... I could tackle tropicals that most people would avoid here (SC). I have "rescued" quite a few Basjoo's, and after two years in the ground here, I've got a 14 footer. I have turned 2 Portora's into about 14 in two years, and 3 Dwarf Cavendish nanners into what I've counted at 17 this year!!! Lord, regular plants are so boring! I want Pink China more than anything right now, but would settle for one of the PUNY Alocasia Borneo Giants!! Anyhoo, glad to have found you on here!!!Read More

Flint River AnimalHospital Hey thanks for the plants! I ordered a few off of ebay about a month ago. Everything arrived very healthy and ready for the dirt.
The "coffee cups" and the rice paper plant are looking great! The varigated Cana is also sending up new leaves daily. Glad I found you guys! Great unique stuff!

I already have a pot of each for you - figured you would want them.....there wasn't much of the var, but it really grows fast, so hpefully by the time I get over, it will be a respectable pot....LOL

I have 2 types of the Egy pap - one gets about 5-6' tall and grows kike the weed it is, the other maxes out at about 30' and is really slow to increase.....if you want a start of it, I will pull off a couple for you - maybe they would be happier at your place,

On another note, I have 3 basjoo pups just breaking thru the soil - they are small pups - found them yesterday.....the older plants show no life, but the pups look good.....guess, kids are just tough, huh.... Read More

Hope to see you guys soon
