Alocasia x 'Pink Dragon' (aka 'Aurora') was an unnamed hybrid that was found at a flower market in Bangkok, Thailand. This Alocasia has bold, elongated arrow-shaped leaves with a thick, slightly glossy surface. The foliage is silvery-emerald with silvery-white venation  across each leaf. The most distinctive feature is its petioles, which are a rich pink to reddish-pink which gave this cultivar its name!
