Help ID please - I bought this today and I was told it was a ‘Mythic Bambino’. I don’t see it here in the database. Is there a way to have it added? If not is there another variety I should choose that is similar?

I’ve decided to label it Bambino arrow. It seems to have the most similar characteristics as the mythic.

This is an alocasia amazonica bambino. I believe the “mythic” part is a company’s unique series name for this type of alocasia. Kind of like “Doc Block” for his anthuriums.

Thank you! I did notice that ‘mythic’ was trademarked.
