Colocasia esculenta Tea Cupic 
Here is a very unusual plant in the colocasia family. The stems are deep burgundy color almost black and the leaves are dark dark purple similar to a black magic color. They curve up to hold water pointing at a 45 degree angle. This plant loves the moist soil and will soak up the sun if provided a good supply of water. Other than being very oddly leafed, this one will enjoy the same conditions as the rest of the Colocasia. If you don't have this one, you wont be disappointed that you've planted this gem among your favorites. Don't miss out!
