One last one for today, Hilo Beauty

Wow Suz they look great. I see one there I don't have. lol I was bad and ordered some from Enid. Wish I had known everything I own was going to break down on me before I ordered. lol Oh well to late now. They should be on there way. This forum is a bad influence. lol

I have got to go to NSE before you guys order them all!(now I'll be trying to figure out which one you don't have, lol)

What a bunch of awesome ears!

Now I wanna know how Peggy ended up with 2 I don't have?!?!

Hah I am not telling, I know your's is not big enough to share or it would be on my door step next week. lol

Hmmmmmmmmm.........It's gotta be one of the variegated ones.

what a really nice collection Cala!

Thanks MzM!

Gorgeous collection Susie. Boy, I just love that Milky Way. Is it easy to take care of?

You have some real beauty's Susie. I have a Yellow Splash coming. Love the Milky Way & Black Stem.

Liz, the Milky Way I almost killed last year because it would get too dry, but this year with half a day of morning sun and plenty of water it is doing much better.
Deb, thanks. You will like Yellow Splash, watch it though, it wants to put out green sprouts. I just pull them off. It is easier to grow than Milky Way.

Great assortment of ears, Susie.

I took more this morning. Here is Mickey Mouse(Thanks Roz!)

Nancy's Revenge. Lisa and Roz both gave me this, hope I can take good care of them!

Metallica Crispa

Suzie, they sure look good. Love the yellow splash. So, which is your favorite?

I took more pictures, but they're fuzzy(I am a terrible photographer).
Forgot to add, I think Metallica Crispa is my favorite. Is this the one you gave me last year Roz?

Suzi, Im sitting here drooling over the EEs and just got a few this last month..way late to really enjoy them for a good summer...but now Im thinking Ive got to order some of those for next year..the variegated ones are wonderful..thats for sharing the pictures...Judy

Judy, do I see another obsession coming on? Don't you belong to plantaholics annonymous?

Susie, I just bought Milky Way. Does it like alot of water in a pot or on the drier side. I know I can't plant it out this later in the season.

Patricia

It is a colocasia and likes to be wet except in winter when it needs to be drier.

Wow! I love all of your EE's. They look so happy and I bet your climate is perfect for them to grow all year round. My Hilo Beauty wants to go live there. Look at all of the leaves on that one! Having zone envy over here.

I had no clue there were so many variegated ones
They look awesome Susie!!!

Aaaaaaw, y'all are too nice. You haven't seen my Black Velvet, Purple Prince, African Mask, Fallax..........I'm ashamed to show them to you. I also have Big Dipper somewhere, but I swear I have looked and looked. I hope he just lost his tag.

You are right Susie, I did miss this thread. I now have my eye on a few more thanks to you! Bad, Susie, Bad!!

I need to see if I kill all the ones I have before I take more on. I am having a late summer urge to buy lots of plants that will need winter housing. I am suddely getting a bit more realistic and holding my self in check. But my spring list is getting so long.

You sure bought yourself a great birthday present. I would buy that in second.

Yep, your ears look great Susie! They must love summer in Texas.

I know what you mean Kell. I am already stressing out where I am going to over winter the plants I have collected this year. I will have to start collecting wish lists for the spring too.

Send your ears to me, Bleu and I will watch them for you! Mel, tell your DH to move that bass boat out of the way!

Suze, the one I gave you was Nigra something, but it looks like the one you posted. Mine, still in the same pot. but dug out and put in the tropical bed, has lots of newbies around it. Marie is lusting, so I told her to dig in. She thinks she would do better to wait til next spring, since she has no greenhouse. Still did not get a new one yet. Surely a greenhouse will last a few fourteen years!!
