Re: Colocasia "White Lava"
it said "CONG COLIUS 3.88" (£2.52)..my friend and I grabbed 12 of them . I took 3 home he is putting the rest on ebay we had another 32C dayand they are holding up to full sun very well. very very fast to put out pups. I am waiting to get a leaf with the full white veins..
I can't say much but I would be on the look out for alot of white vein types soon

Re: Colocasia "White Lava"
I believe these were released in a rush due to there strange behavior. this is a double leaf from a stolen.
also flowering very early. the flower looks more like a very ugly deformed leaf..yet to open I ill take pics when it does and attempt to get pollen for a cross later this year.

Re: Colocasia "White Lava"
I let that plant flower out and had 2 flowers at one time..neither matured and were empty. it is putting out alot of nice leaves with white on them though.
