I got two new alocasias today (I think). They weren't labeled. Any idea what kinds?

Looks like a Dragon scale and Regal shield

Thank you! They were both $7 at a local grocery store so I snatched them up.

I had dragon scale and I have regal shield now. Regal shield is pretty fast growing, and new leaves come out larger than previous ones usually.  
Alocasias are my fave genus of houseplants. I have 7 currently and plan to get more! Good luck!

You're welcome! What a steal at $7. I agree with Iggy, the Regal shield is a fast grower, just keep an eye out for spidermites
