It looks like an Alocasia plumbea 'Nigra' to me.
Here's one picture and there is another on Ebay that describes the metallic color.

That's what it looks like to me, too. I just bought one about a month ago. The pronounced upper lobes of the leaves vary quite a bit from wentii (which I also have). Really nice plant, though.

Farmer's Market?????? Dang, I saw someone on another forum talk about finding cool EE at Lowes. That cool stuff is never around here!

Definetly Alocasia Plumbea Nigra. Wentii has green stems as oppossed to the dark plum colored stems of the plumbea nigra.

That would have been me, azreno. I found the Colocasia Fontanesii and Illustris at Lowe's. They also had a variegated one, but I do not know what it was, because all of the pots were marked "elephant ears"! Sometimes I have good luck at Home Depot and Lowes finding things that they have absolutely no clue what it is they actually have. I found the Alocasia plumbea 'nigra' at one of the local nurseries for $8.00 in a gal. pot. It even had a little fern growing in it.

DId you check out your Lowe's?

Ahh, I am beginning to recognize your name. I check everywhere all the time (something I bet we all do! LOL). It's funny the stuff we do get here that we really shouldn't and don't get other stuff that we should. Oh well, I'm sure I'll live!

And I'm sure I'll run into you again!

Thanks all, for the ID! It really helps to know what to do with it this winter. I had a feeling it was going to be one of the more tender ones, so I kept it in a pot until I could find out.

I'm going to try wintering it with a heaping 3 or 4 bagfuls of mulch and see it it will make it. I'm into risk-taking. Besides, no room to overwinter indoors.
