Saved seed but what???

It must have been a nice flower because I saved a seed pod....but I ought to have made a note!:dh:

 

Could they be Arum Lillies?

 

Just what I was thinking :thumb:

 

Does look a bit arum like:thumb:

 

Are arum lilies easy to grow from seed?

 

Usually propagated by offset corms, but seed is possible I think, but less likely to produce the same plant as the parent, and probably a few years to flowering size.

 

Thanks folks:gnthb:
I found the seed pod on the shelf and just popped it in a single pot...and hey presto!!! up came 46 seedlings. Tonight Mrs Pal is giving one each to the three friends she going to dinner with anyone who calls in takes one home too..like it or not:D

 

Just a thought but the plants look very similar to a small alocasia that I've grown from a very small tuber.
Same family I believe.

 

Colocasia or taro leaves are edible and make an excellet dish.
Just looked up alocasia and it's defenitely not a good idea to eat it.

Hijacking the thread for a moment here....does anyone know if I can get hold of colocasia tubers. Really fancy having a go at growing them.

 

Apparently if you want just the ordinary taro that's used in cooking you can just use shop bought tubers.
Others are available from specialist nurseries.
Probably better to wait till next year now.
