When you see me offering Colocasia kristonii hopefully you will have forgotten this post and snap them up at a fiver a go!

I might have got a bit carried away, but as I was buying online I increased the qty a bit in case some of them might be damaged; £8.95 for 30, and got some nice curry ingredients too icon_thumleft

I was thinking that they could be along the front of my proposed raised bed behind the pond, which is 30' long. Might look a bit "samey" though ...

Average price for mine 12½ cents each (8 for a dollar).
Currency converter shows 1.00 CAD = 0.635409 GBP .... so thats 0.079462 each using GBP.

Here they are using my method a week later. These are pushing already in gallon pots!

Cheers, Barrie.
