Sorry, that title is misleading. Nothing racy or risque to see here. Just me and my two favorite plants, both of the Alocasia Tigrina persuasion, celebrating my blog's 2-year anniversary. Fitting, too, since the very first entry was about another Alocasia Tigrina that I owned, the parent of these two stunning babies. That original plant is long dead, due to my earlier lack of gardening knowledge (too much water, wrong pot size). But I managed to bring one of these to life from a tiny segment of live tissue on the rotten tuber. The other Tigrina mysteriously appeared in my garden (these guys are rare so it didn't just happen to be there already) so I'm guessing that it somehow started as a tiny tubor that got dispersed into my garden when I dumped out the soil from the pot of the dead plant. Plant reproduction works in mysterious ways.
Check out these two beauties.
Here's me, back in March 2010 with the original Alocasia Tigrina that I mananged
to unceremoniously kill with my lack of tropical plant growing skills. Fortunately,
I've learned a lot since then so the babies should do just fine.
