[Steven]

Hey John,..it isn't mine,.... YET
Some German dealers are selling these,...
as you've guessed it : Gigantea's
they offer 2 types: gigantea's from Ecuador and larger ones out of Venezuela,...

As what i thought,... could it be that these are Peruvian Giants who are smugled across the Peruvian border to be sold as Ecuadorean pedes ??? :? :? :?

 

[Melmoth]

Giganteas are so,so cool:} I am sure that the demand for them is such,that pede smuggling must be going on all the time.Smuggle a couple my way

[Steven]

Anyone who can tell if it isn't a Crudelis ????


I'll have to see it with my own eyes to determine it's a Gigantea or not,...
that'll be on the Hamm fair,.. just 2 more weeks :} :} :}

Gigantea, crudelis or Alternans.........................I'll try and order one from here...........

[aftershock]

From what I've heard and seen the gigantea from Venezuela get almost white leggs after they've reached about 4-5". They are truely beautiful and are in my opinion the best looking pedes.
