EE's for trade

I have these elephant ears for trade. They are divisions from my plants and are getting large, I have them in gallon pots. I will cut them back for shipping, but they will grow new leaves quickly

8 Illustruis
4 Giant Green EE Xanthosoma sagittaefolium
1 Black Magic

I am looking for hosta that I don't have, or daylilies if you can show me a pictures of what you have. I will only ship in the USA. This picture is the Giant Green EE

Thanks,

Cathy

Black Magic

Illustruis, these are the ones in the gallon pots.

I also have a couple violet stemmed EE's also, need to see how many are there.

Cathy, is Giant Green the name of that ear?

Cathy
Is there anything on my list you would like for a few of each? If not maybe postage?

I don't know if this is a different variety than your Giant Green. It wasn't named when I got it. Attached is a photo (I put the Kleenex box in the pic for size reference). If you are interested in it, I have a small 3" pup that I would love to trade for a Black Magic.

This is a picture of the same variety that is growing in a more sunny location. The first was grown in full shade.

And here's a picture of the pup. The lightness on one leaf is the setting sun just coming through.

Cathy your giant green ee is Xanthosoma sagittaefolium....just thought you'd like the name for it. Gets absolutely huge leaves if fed a lot! :-)

Xanthosoma sagittaefolium EE, yes that's the name, I did receive it in a trade last year and it's a monster this year. The new leaves are twice as big as the ones in the picture above. Thanks Eclipse.

JoleneS I have that one, sorry.

Eclipse, I have another one that's a giant that I received in a trade that was called giant purple stem, do you know the name of that one. I'll get a picture and post it.

Not a problem. Do you know its name?

Jolene,

It's Colocasia Escuelenta

No, I don't know the name of that one either, but I did buy the bulb in Walmart and it grows and mutiplys like crazy.

Cathy

Show me da money!! I mean the picture!!LOL
:-)

Here is the violet stemmed giant ee

Picture of the Purple stemmed Giant leaf, this leaf has the same markings as the giant with a line going all away around the edge of the leaf.

This is a picture of my Giant Xanthosoma sagittaefolium plant, don't know what I'm going to do with it this winter, we have it in a huge pot.

You have mail.

I'm interested in Illustrius and GG. I have some hostas, J. fern, ornamental grass, etc. Look at my jounal under Trade Plants Available. I'm editing it now.
Thanks,
Lana

Cathy the other one is a Xanthosoma too. probably violaeceum, blue ape,(ah-pay) pronunciation.
look under the leaves and see if the veins are colored.If so its violaeceum.

I was thinking violaceum too but couldn't see purple veins so I didn't take a stab at it. LOL

Hey Kyle, since you have me looking at ethnic food as garden staples....I found this site and thought it was kind of neat. It really isn't any new info, but does list other names for the roots, descriptions, growing info, etc. Maybe you can get more people shopping for their plants at the market. :)

Hey Cathy...I have some WONDERFUL Caldiums (Aaron and Pink Beauty) that I have plenty of extras I'd be willing to trade for a couple of those EE's (Just kidding! There's NO way you'll get THOSE back! hehehe)

Fantastic looking EE's btw...This is the first year I've grown them and hopefully not the last!
