A Rather Splendid Metallic Anomaly

Goodness, another day, another dash for the kettle in this infernal British drizzle. But even the greyest skies can't dim the lustre of *Alocasia azlanii 'Variegated'*. Hailing from Brunei, Borneo, this compact jewel is an absolute stunner. Its ovate-cordate leaves boast a proper metallic sheen – deep green to bronze, laced with iridescent purple venation. And the variegation? Creamy sectors and pale mint marbling dance across the surface, making this already gorgeous specimen utterly irresistible. A corm-former, growing in a neat rosette, it’s a tiny masterpiece, though the occurence of such pristine variegation in cultivation is still rather rare, making the price quite… eye-watering. Still, a remarkable plant, indeed!
