Alocasia Imperial Giant

7 years ago

Does anyone know if Imperial Giant made it past trials and into distribution? I read about it on some old Aroidia Reasearch posts. Would love to get my hands on one, looks like a Sarian on steroids.
Follow up quastion is does LariAnn still do work with aroids? Looks like she used to be super active all over the web but seems to have stopped abruptly 4 or 5 years ago. The Aroidia website hasn't been updated in years either.

Plant Delights sells Imperial Gigante. Not sure if it could be the same one. I havent seen anything posted from Lari Ann for some time. I think they were doing something with selling Rainbow Eucalyptus. I still like all her Aroid articles from DG. Plant Delights is listed on the Aroid Research Vendor List.

If you want to see what is available and some are new upcoming hybrids look on agristarts websites then do a google search to find a vendor. Ebay usually has sellers that buy large volumes of alocasia and colocasias etc from places like agristarts.

A few of these are newer alocasias. Many are older but still neat.
