Lookin good, Root and so do you!

To funny Root! So what does your honey say about all these 'house plants' of yours????

This one is Malanga,it is in the Xan. family.
Wife loves spring,when they go out,LOL
Too funny Root !! sounds like something I would try to pull on my husband. He would take one look at that and start yelling.
Quick Root! Break out the concrete and make her a gift. Then I'm sure she'll go for it. Or you can just send it to me and I'll make it live forever. ;)
Great looking ear, Kristi. I have a white one in my yard that Cottosnag made for me. Love the color of yours.
Too bad you haven't figured out how to grow them big yet Doc. LOL! Great looking Malanga.

If,it stays alive all winter,and multiplys at the rate it has,I will have some to share next summer,I like it,I have seen some pretty impressive pictures on the Net of them.
That is way tooooo funny RD! What an outstanding plant! You certainly have a way with all your beauties! I'm wanting to see it next year.....can't imagine how it will look.
You have beautiful and healthy plant, May I know its height ?
Boy, are you looking good Root, good and so innocent! Monica does not have a chance! And now I want a Malanga. Where do you get this one?

So did she believe you????
and did she move all the furniture out to fit it in?
House plant = plant the size of a house?
Root, I love your ear, it's fantastic!!!! Is it an Upee or an EE?? And, the big question is, what do you use on your deck floor - whatever it is, it really looks like it's holding up well!
Kristi, I gotta know how you do that, and, I assume, it was a real ear, huh???
It is super, this forum is filled with surprise after surprise, wow!!!
Here is the picture that got me looking for this one.

OMG Root!! I love it! LOL Bless your tropical lovin heart! It looks great! I too would LOVE to know how to make one of those concrete things.
WOW ROOT, put me on your list, I am in the same zone as you so I want one that big. how tall are you anyway
Lookin' good root!!! My DH is talking about putting on an addition... a hottub room! I think I could "jungle it up" real good and think the plants would be happier there than in my greenhouse ;)
Kristi, love yours too!
Here are mine, I just made them the other day, haven't painted them yet...

I'm, 6ft,I may dig the big one today.
Jody,those are awsome....someday I am gunna make some...
Okay, Jody and Kristi, are you using quickcrete, sp?????? Or, what??? Do you cover real leaves???? Enquiring minds want to know!!!
Jody - for me and Shelley221 can you give directions or point us to the directions for making your concrete ears...... yours and Datdog's are so neat..... my ears aren't as big but I'd love to try some......
Maybe Root will let me come pluck some of his ears as he digs them out..... ; - )
Root, I've checked google to purchase the ears, but I'd like to know if you got yours at a nursery that might be online. I bought some caladiums last spring and I was ripped off and I don't want to make the same mistake again. Did you start yours in the spring and how old is the one you are taking inside???? Did you know you can eat that sucker??? You could invite everyone on DG and still have leftovers, whew!!!
This one,I got at the local market for $.30,they do eat them here.
Great leafs Jody! Root mine that I've purchased at the store always look like regular ole ears.
Awesome leaves Jody. What do you use for the base?
Jody,looks like you have a good collection,let me know when you want to Green up that room,I'll have to find something for you,I have seen your list,LOL! So I know it will not be easy!
Root here is the instructions that I first used. Now I just tweak it here and there until I get the mix I like.

Thanks Kristi,boy that Gunnera looks like a nice one to cast,I can only dream on Gunnera.
Doc no need for Gunnera. Do you have the Rice Paper plant? Here is one that I casted with some left over cement I had. If you need a start of it, let me know. I've got tons and it survives my winter. The leaves are HUGE! I must have gotten the giant strain of it.
I'll take a picture of it growing in my front bed a little later for you. Right now the painters are outside. Don't want them thinking I'm any weirder then I already am.
