Did you start this from seed? I love the colors, never find that variety around here. LOL

This is so expensive in my country.. it's beautiful

@ripjuju no I didn't, I bought a small plant about 3 years ago, I keep it in the garage through winter. You really don't see it very often around here! 💘😍

#foliagefriday #calocasia #elephantear #verigated #verigation #leafpatterns #bestofseptember #foliagefriday love this ear! Last year it was twice as big! Don't know what happened this year, at least it didn't die!

Very lovely leaf patterns 👍😍

@hayleyaj 💘😍

By far my favorite elephant ear! Have u ever grown one inside?

@heatherdirtyhands no I haven't, I usually just keep mine in the garage and bring them out next spring 💘😍

I tried to cut back and over winter in the basement but they didn't come back. .what do u do for them while in the garage over winter?

@heatherdirtyhands I'm in zone 8, it's an unheated insulated garage, I let them die back and do nothing all winter, I start watering the end of February, sorry it didn't work for you! Try again you never know!💘😍

@cyndi I know and I think you should be a higher zone and I should be a lower zone, with our crazy winters! I try to find plants anymore that are zone 7 or lower just to be safe 🤷💘😍

@cyndi exactly! Our winters have changed so I have to be more careful!💘😍

Can these be grown indoors??

@gjones that's exactly what I love about it!💘😍

@mardel absolutely Maribel! Any plant can be grown as a house plant, until some plants outgrow your house!😂💘😍

I live In Pittsburgh Pennsylvania the zone map says 6 or 7 @cyndi

#mojito #elephantears I do love my mojito!

@hayleyaj 💘😍

I saw some of these in the back of the Dutch gardens magazine yesterday that made me think of u.... do u have some called 'blue Hawaii?' I'll post a pic and tag in it

Gorgeous,I loved seeing your pics of them Shelley 😍😍😍

@bpetty55 no I don't, but do post!! I want to see it!!💘😍

Aww! Thank you Jane!!💘💘😍

That's stunning foliage and picture

@jpea thank you JP!!💘😍

@columbiariver thanks!! I know, I've not seen it either, I purchased it at a local nursery. I moved it late summer and thought I could separate it, but to no avail! I'm now hoping it makes it through winter 🤞🤞💘😍

Wow!

@richard.spicer.7906 thanks Richard!💘😍

Gosh Shelley all your plants look like they’re doing well is the weather going to be nice now are you through with all these really cold nights that trumpet plant looks really great I can’t get over how large the stems are on those gonna try to get one of those digit this summer

@terrimclaughlin I wish it looked like this, but this is a flashback photo! There is nothing there now!🤣 We have the possibility of freezing temps and ugly weather until into March sometime 💘😍

#taro #elephantsears #mojito I'M NOT SORRY AGAIN!!! 🤣🤣 Afternoon mojito's anyone? Love the variation in the leaves!💚🖤💚🖤

@ShelleySnyder . WOW!!!

#taro #elephantsears #mojito GOOD MORNING TO ALL MY GT FRIENDS!! HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL!! Mojito's (hickup!) For breakfast anyone? She must be happy, she's a gettin bigger!

She's huge!! Maybe a for lunch lol

@janelleabella ahh!! Live a little!! Go for the breakfast drink!!😂😂😂

@ShelleySnyder lol!!! When I get my taste buds back maybe !

GOOD MORNING MY FRIEND❣I hope your weekend was Big One(no punt intended) bwahaha❣It's a Beauty!! I do wish I had your skill at gardening 😍 I do hope u have A Great Day❣🔆 It's all rain here and the next 3 days on and off. Well needed though,but body says no..lol😂 I'm taking a breather today but I'm going to post a couple of pics that I am was great amazed at. Take Care❣

@Acetaker hope your weekend was good!! Mine actually was pretty good! We are on the last step of redoing the bathroom ( yippee!!!!) I might be able to use it after today ( fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞🤞) hope your feeling ok and have a good day!!!💘😍

Thxs Shelley! I'm having probs with the rain..body doesn't like fronts coming and going but other than that hanging in😍

#taro #elephantsears #black and I thought the other leaf I posted was big!!🖤🖤🖤🖤

So dramatic

So cool, I can't wait for mine to get that big. Love that color!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@columbiariver they are buuuut I think I'm gona winter in the garage cuz I don't trust the tag!!! It said zone7 🤔😞🤔

#taro #elephantsears #mojito GOOD MORNING TO ALL MY GT FRIENDS!! HAPPY FRIDAY!! Mojito's in the morning anyone?😲😂🍹🤣

Morning Shelley why not start as you mean to go on 👍🍸😁 Hiccup 😂

@Keely 😂😂😂😂

#colocasia just got this!!😂😂😂😂😂😂 I keep asking for someone to stop me and no one has yet!!😂😂😂😂

@columbiariver I'm not going to bring it in the house cuz I don't have room (all my snake plants take up all the room) . But I'm still undecided if I should put them in the garage (running out of room there too!), the tag say zone 7b, so in all reality I should be able to leave them outside---we'll see!

@columbiariver there is no plant that can't be outside for anyone, it's just a matter of zone and what are you willing to do to save it thru winter💘😍

@columbiariver 😂😂😂😂 I'd call it a combo plant!😂😂😂

@columbiariver me likes jungles!!🖒👌💘😍

👏👏👏 love it 😍

I spent a bunch of money Saturday at a new (to me) garden center. I went with @petersburghomesteader and kept telling her I need to stop, but she was no help! I need pots and potting soil, and I come home with like 6 new plants!

@lesliecole49 sounds like a whole lot of fun to me!!hehehehe!💘😍

It was a great day, Shelley, had a lot of fun.
