It looks like some of the Malanga tuber plants I have.

Ditto Bihai, looks like Xanthosoma 'Publix'

e,
It looks like sagittifolium to me. This species is so variable in the wild that I don't think you can always expect an exact match to a particular clone or variety in the nursery trade.

Minibim's X. 'Publix' would make a good catchall name for all the unidentifiable oddities and possible hybrids that show up at the supermarkets here :)

Hey, etropicals - should I be bringing in my lutea yet? It's been in the mid to high 40's at night, but it is supposed to be warmer next week. I hate these extreme temp fluctuations, because I never know what to do. It's just a guessing game. Oklahoma - it can be 90 one day and 50 the next. That is how extreme we are.

Sweatin' and chillin',

Hi Susan,
Well I guess your Lutea arrived okay...hope your happy with it.
They are very tolerant. Although I, personally, would bring mine in if the temps are around the 40's. Especially with such temperature fluctuations. You want to get the most growth out of it so keep it warm.....

LOL I love that....Xanthosoma var. "Publix". Great name!

OK now, don't steal my new nybrid name, I might have to use it on Ebay.

World's biggest, humongous, dwarfs robusta in size, elephant ear. NEW cultivar "Publix", rarely offered for sale..........

Oh this could be a money maker! lol
