remember that mystery plant that had me all confused? the chinese prong thingy? well as it turns out, its a member of the elephant ear style plants, like the philodendrin, black midnight, and others. I have a picture of the big one on my mom's camera, but i can't find the cord that connects to the computer lol. I"ll get it though ^.^ its a really good picture1

Okie dokie, as it turns out, its not a Chinese Taro... Oops ^.^ I was at Market Basket lookin for dinner, and i decided "hey, i'll check out the floral section" And then i saw the leaves [Big Grin] The taro like leaves, with the lil button in the end of them. I was like "WOAH!" and i read the tag and it said: ALOCASIA.

There was another person who has this plant on their list as a mystery plant too. Hopefully it'll help em out [Smile]

Cool! I've been wondering about that one. I'll have to keep my eyes out for one!

Ha ha! That's how I identified my kalanchoe. I raised the stuff for a long time and did really well with it - had no idea what it was.

In 1995 I bought two little stubs of it at a church bazaar. It boomed! By the end of that summer I had to break it up into smaller plants.

Then in 1997 I was in Newmarket, Ontario with my cousin and happened to see them on display at a department store. I was delighted and went straight for the tags.

Glad you solved your mystery - it looks like a really nice plant.
