Looks like a great order!

Very nice assortment. The Yucca bright edge looks more like a Dracaena deremensis or warneckii, but they probably just used leaf shine on the yucca.

Did you order those from Well Spring Nursery? I have ordered from them before the plants are small but they are cheap and they ship really fast. Well packed too, they have some interesting tropicals.

yeah wellspring sent those. They are all small plants but for what they charge you can't beat it. with the climate here in the summer by oct. no one will ever know the differance. I got the other 4 rhizomes from a guy in Idaho. Just a few more mail orders and I will be set...then I start popping into the greenhouses.

Why don't you buy the colocasia plants from Bryan? He has a very nice collection, doesn't he?
