And this is a different kind of Elephant Ear, the picture on the package of the bulb showed them to be black, actually the stem and veins are all that seem black, maybe they will change as they age...but the leaves are huge.
And some regular Elephant ears to see the difference. I love them, and they are easy to grow.

Pretty! :~)
Those hibiscus flowers are really big, aren’t they?
I went out and picked off every flower off my petunias and geraniums, they were all soggy from the rain and it might set them up to be in prime shape when our company comes if i prune them all now.
One of the petunia varieties we planted is supposed to be some kind of new double flower. I have yet to see it produce a good flower... they’re growing all kinds of PLANT, huge healthy plant, but no flowers, and the one or two blooms that have tried to form were deformed. I’m not sure yet if they’re going to do anything.
Wow! That hibiscus is gorgeous! The elephant ears look really great too. I really like the black ones, but I think that it takes lots of direct sun to make them get dark. My elephant ears look pitiful. They got nipped by a late frost and then they’ve been burned up by the drought. They’re not even knee high and not much bigger than my outspread hand. Now my red caladiums are doing great. They’re in clay pots and get watered every day so they’ve kinda got an advantage. I’ll have to take a picture to show you my little seating area/garden out beside the house. It’s looking pretty good now. The yellow marigolds I planted in the raised rock bed aren’t all that big, but they’re doing ok. They must be a dwarf variety or something.
