Need Plants ID's

17 years ago

Hi I bought these plants and they were completely unmarked. I know two are colocasias or alocasias, I'm never sure which is which, but would like to know what varieties if possible. The other one with the spotted stems I thought might be some kind of amorphophallus, but the leaves don't look right at all. But the spotted stems are so unusual. Thanks for your help.

Hi, i think the first one is a Scadoxus, or blood lily, probably multiflorus. Picture 2 looks like an Alocasia but i've no idea what species, P3, i wouldn't want to guess.

Picture #3 looks to be an Emerald Gem.

Here is a link that might be useful: Have a look :o)
