My Jamaican gardeners have planted something they call Callaloo in my
garden. The Wikipedia article lists a number of plants that are used
for Callaloo but none of them are an exact match for this plant,

I think it looks like taro but my gardeners don't think so. They
brought the seeds from Jamaica where it's grown commercially so chances
are that this is safe. However these are the same guys who said that
pokeweed was edible so I'm not going to touch this stuff until I know
what it is. Please help identify this.


Asshole did you not post this before?????????


No I posted the pokeweed picture, this is a different plant.
