Hey so uuuuh was the tag on this plant I rescued just totally wrong and I just have some stupid Chinese potato? I mean, I don't hate it. But it doesn't seem platinum.

yes this looks like chinese taro. not sure what else it would've been labelled as. i can see them mistaking it for an anthurium but not much else
