The first photo is not of the plant offered, but shown to illustrate the adult size of the adult leaf which gets to be about 16 inches in length. The plant is the first photo is, however, the mother plant, from which the plant offered came from so plant offered has the exact same genetics. The plant offered will be much like the second photo, a direct offset from the original base plant and will undoubtedly grow to be as spectacular. Variegated Alocasia odora gageana, sometimes call...ed the Dwarf Elephant ear, originally from Malaysia, grows to a manageable size of between 3-4 feet tall and quite upright in growth. The young plant you will receive is a direct offset from the parent plant pictured in the first photo and will eventually produce leaves as spectacular as the mother plant pictured. The plant offered, is about 8 inches tall with bright green white variegations. Interestingly, it seems each leaf that comes out of this rare alocasias is a surprise and is usually markedly different from the last, as some come out almost solid green and some come out almost solid white .... and many are stunning combinations of both colors. This plant comes from the collection of A.Klopman, a master grower and an international Bonsai and Penjeng master, who has worked in zoological and botanical research for over 4 decades. He has been the recipient of many awards in both botany and zoology, who has been honored by having his name included in the formal Latin designation of two rare species. This is the first time any of his plant collection has been offered on Ebay, and there will be more to follow, including rare species of rare Araceae, including Anthuriums, Alocasia, Colocasia, Xanthosoma, and other species from his collection of rare ferns, cactus and plants collected and propagated over a lifetime of exploration, Unlike the giant species of "elephant ears", that grow to great heights with gigantic leaves, (and this smaller variety does get a wooden looking Petioles (stem) eventually), this exotic plant can be a showcase plant indoors as well as looking spectacular outdoors, with reasonable light.
