Those look like Xanthosoma Sagittifolia. I hear they can get really big leaves!

In the past a few EE I forgot to pull out the ground have made it back, C. Fontanesii and plain old C. esculenta.
Overwintering this year was a nightmare. Hot then cold then hot. Many of the plants broke dormancy early and just exhausted themselves.

The purple stem behind it is another EE. I intermix my tropicals in my perennial beds.
