#elephantears #taro it froze last night and this is the result! I guess it's quite a bit warmer up against the house!

@hayleyaj 💘😍

😢😢

@gjones yeah! Winter is mighty close!💘😍

Oh dear, I know it has to happen but it always seems such a shame 😢😢

😥😥

@pelly you are right!😭💘😍

@juliesgarden 😭🤦💘😍

All my tender plants are now in the greenhouse. Had to put the heater on last night as it went down to 2 degrees and we had a our first frost 😢

@hayleyaj 🥺 it's heeeeer!💘😍

😔😔

Those were beautiful! So sad to see the summer go.

#elephantear #taro #big this was so big my arm wasn't long enough to get the whole leaf in!

#elephantear #taro didn't get as big as last year but got very big nonetheless!

It's huge but really pretty!

@hayleyaj 💘😍

@suerichards @gjones thanks ladies!💘😍

Wow! Now that’s a statement plant! 🐘👂🏻

@kez001uk 😂 a big fat statement! People do stop and point and look as they are going by🤦💘😍

@ShelleySnyder as they should! Nobody grows them like Mrs Snyder 😁

@kez001uk I don't know about that! I've seen some mighty big ones on here!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder yours must rival them 😜

Fabulous 😍

Wow fabulous plant 💚💚💚

#elephantear #taro I got a little rain! I do mean a little! It wasn't enough to water anything!

@hayleyaj 💘😍

Are your elephant ears huge again this year?

@gjones they are getting bigger with every leaf! Right now they are the size of a large canna 💘😍

They're getting there aren't they. We've been getting dumped on

@columbiariver wow that's crazy! We are just getting a very little bit! I guess I should say me that is!🤔💘😍

Thunder and lightning still happening from yesterday. I enjoy it. It's been a more normal spring for us. Traditionally we get rain til the fourth. The plants aren't loving it so much

@columbiariver we usually do to but not this year!🤔💘😍

Still pouring! Lol! 🤔😜🤪😍

@columbiariver oh my! Been a sunny day all day here!😳💘😍

#taro #elephantears #colocasia how's this for veriation! All one plant, I especially like the bottom left, looks like something was spilled on it! Wasn't me I swear!!

@hayleyaj 💘😍

You've had your paints out again Shelley, come on, tell the truth 😂😂😂

@pelly 😂😂 ok I admit it!! I'm not very good am I!😂💘😍

You’ve just splashed it everywhere!! 😅😂🤣

@pelly I think that means I don't have any painting skills!😂😂💘😍

Easy to get kind of lost just looking into the detail. Lovely big things!

@columbiariver isn't it! I get to see this from behind thru the kitchen window and it's just as cool if not more so!😄💘😍

I need this! 😍😍

@hayleyaj you do! And it's tough as nails!💘😍

Love it

@high thanks Annie!💘😍

#elephantears #taro #huge this leaf is so big my arm wasn't long enough to get it all in and keep my hand there for reference! Would you believe it's not even the biggest leaf!😲😂

@hayleyaj 💘😍

Stunning! 😍💚

Almost elephant size!

Huge! 🐘👂🏿😍

Wow amazing 💚💚

Wow!

Wow that's gorgeous I bet it's tender, is it a colacosia (probably spelt that wrong)

😯 hooooooge! 💚

Wow that's unbelievable 💚💚

#elephantears #taro #upclose #texture I just love the markings on this! The cooler temps seem to bring it out

@hayleyaj 💘😍

Wow, looks fantastic! Wish I could recreate this pattern on a pot!😄

Shelley their all doing so great there’s so many !! Mine just started popping up. Maybe next year if I find a better spot I’ll get beauties like those👍🏻😊💕

@high thank you Annie!💘😍

@terrimclaughlin thanks! I'm so surprised you don't have big ones there! These can actually be grown in water so they do need lots of watering on land but I'm sure you knew that! 🤔💘😍

#elephantears these are across from my canna at the front door, they have gotten so big my arm is not long enough to take a picture to show you perspective, so I'll just tell you they are over 2ft. X 2ft. And still getting bigger!😲 People are stopping and pointing!😂

@hayleyaj 💘😍

Another to add to mine next year. Just fabulous 💚💚💚💚

Wow 😮😍

#elephantears the leaves just keep getting bigger and bigger

@hayleyaj 💘😍

That's doing great! Such big beautiful leaves😍😍

@gjones they are doing really good there, Thank you!💘😍

#elephantears this has never gotten this big before 😲 I've had it for years but it was always in a pot and stored in the garage thru winter, I decided to take a chance last year and planted it outside in the front, and OH MY!!

@hayleyaj 💘😍

Seriously!? That's pretty nice.

@columbiariver seriously!! They have taken off like a rocket!!😂💘😍

I might plant mine and see. I love the swirly pattern on the foliage.

@columbiariver honestly I am shocked! Wait till you see them! By that time they may be double in size they are growing so fast! You should try yours in the ground!💘😍

I am looking forward to that! I'm going to plant them.

They were excited to stretch their legs!

@haleyt901 apparently so!😂💘😍

I really miss my huge elephant ears that we had in FL. Don't think they will do well here. So, I'll just have to enjoy yours😍😊

@SikoMa sorry Dar! Be my guest and enjoy!😂💘😍
