Alocasia/colocasia hardiness questions

I've moved slightly north, and am now in 7b. I crave big and/or variegated EEs, and would prefer ones that I can overwinter in the ground here. I would also consider ones that I can lift and overwinter dry, in a pinch.

I just saw a great pic of Colocasia 'Thailand Giant'---can anyone suggest a source, and tell me just how much cold its withstood for YOU personally? Same thing for Alocasia 'Borneo Giant'.

What about Colocasias 'Mojito' and 'Ele Paio'? Any other suggestions?
