Alocasia Bambino plays-hard-to-get The Ensete (Red Banana Tree)Bambino Alocasia (Alocasia amazonica 'Bambino') is one of those plants you have to stop twice and ponder. Its distinctive leaves are thick, and the creamy white veining makes you want to color between the lines. Its sharply shaped arrow leaves give directions if you're lost, and it's decidedly a great conversational starter. Tell them you discovered it in the South Pacific on the last trip of your world travels. (Somebody did, at least!)
