Hi, I'm new to this forum, and have a plant that I'd like to identify. I live in Baja Norte about 20 miles north of Ensenada. I recently bought a deep shade plant from a nursery here. The owner of the nursery called it the "Vampire Wing". However, when I got home, and googled it, nothing came up. That search led to join this forum.

Here are the photos of the "Vampire Wing" plants. Does anyone know either their botanical, or common name? I'm new here to the forum, but this like my kind of forum.

Looks like Alocasia. Probably Alocasia Amazonica.

Do read Steves very good site which has a lot of very good advice. He is the best when it comes to Aroids.
