My giant elephant ear for #animal-named #elephantear 🐘

That is Beautiful💚

@crabby58 Thanks Thelma😃It is massive and just a year ago it was a small potted plant.

@gjones Thank you. They just keep getting bigger as it gets older😃

Wow I am surprised this put out a 4th bloom😃 #elephantear #elephantearflower #tropical

Wow just noticed my elephant ear got a 3rd bloom😃 #octoberblooms #bestofoctober #elephantear

Yay! Very awesome

@lesliecole49 I was very surprised to see a third. Maybe I'll get a fourth🤞😃

My black coral only had three but they were exciting to see for sure

The first flower faded and a new one is opening today😃 #octoberblooms #elephantear

#wildlifewednesday #saltmarshmothcaterpillar

Been so busy this week that I didn't notice my Elephant Ear has it's very first bloom ever with another coming up😯Made me smile😊 #aprilflowers

W💛W. that's a beautiful 🌟 bloom💛💛 @usgardentags

@crabby58 Thanks Thelma❤I didn't even know that they flowered🤣

@cowdenkyle they are beautiful i remember when mine flowered but my elephant ears didnt make the winter 😞i heard somewhere u can eat the middle of the flower so pretty love it ☺

W💛W really you can eat the middle🤔what would that taste like, I wonder? Interesting @hannahchristine

Cool flower!🌞

@crabby58 probably nasty lol 🤢

Amazing

Some #waterdrops after the sprinkler was on💦

Since planting this in the ground the leaves have gotten massive. I really like all the veins💚 #foliagefriday

They look gigantic!

Nice

The first leaf of mine just opened up this week

@lesliecole49 Thats exciting💚

Yes, but the poor little thing has been ravaged by our storms and looks a bit bedraggled already!

The unfurling of a beautiful new piece of foliage🌿 #unfurling

#foliagefriday 🌿🌿🌿

#plantsonsteroids #ginormous Love it 😍😍😍

@sherrisgarden Thanks Sherri❤

Where did you plant this outside? What’s the temp there? @cowdenkyle these are one of my favs. But I’m pretty sure it’ll probably die in the summer.. I’ll put it in a pot so I can move it around. Looks healthier and gorgeous

@alysha I have this planted in my shaded garden bed. I'm in sunny South Florida so it gets pretty hot here but it gets only a sliver of sunshine each day🌞

Very welcome 😀

That’s a gorgeous elephant ear. We should to have tons of this in my dads forested farm in the Philippines.

@dadayba Thanks🌞Aren't they lovely😊

Absolutely lovely and pretty expensive too 😂 reminds me of my childhood in the farm

The leaves are getting huge🌿And they look pretty cool after todays rain🌦 #foliagefriday #rain

Very nice🌱

Very nice, I hope I've got mine well mulched with this cold weather we're having.

Kinda💚 #heart-shaped

@mehul22 Thanks Mehul❤

#rainbowweek #green

Thunderstorms overnight saturated everything💦💦💦

#bestofnovember

I love how you grow every plant from a cutting.

@teresacowden6 not this one mom😆

#foliagefriday Good luck everyone for Friday the 13th😳

#fridaythe13th

I gotta ask, what’s the size of that leaf?!?

@fearlessthereforepowerful it is probably over a foot across now. I hope I have the correct name of the plant😯

I checked it on a couple other plant ID apps, and arrow leaf elephant ear came up. I’m definitely NOT good at things without spines, but if you’re unsure, throw the plant ID tag up. Looks right per my quick check tho! I have a different version of it, love these!

@fearlessthereforepowerful Thank You😀
