        I think that could well be Colocasia.;)

            Thanks, I suppose it could be that too, although I don't recognize the name, but the descriptions are similar
            Thanks, this has just appeared as I was typing the above comment, so it must be that then :smile:
            I don't recall the name though so I'll have to put a label with it.

              I think you will find Alocasia leaves point upwards and Colocasia leaves drop downwards .
