Susie looks like the TX life is agreeing w/ you!
Perfect for the EE's eh?
Though this Summer's been more like FL here than FL. LOL
How are the Sagos doing?
If you can't find Dipper let me know I have dozens and dozens......
Ric
Some of my ears
Roz, I know the one you gave me survived 26* at Christmas. It went dormant, but came right back up.
Henry, I looked last evening. I know I put it in a pot with other stuff, but I can't find it. Peggy gave it to me, makes me so mad to misplace stuff. I bought a clematis on eBay, planted it, now I can't find it in the jungle, I know it's there, just will have to find it(it's probably under that huge Lady Margaret).
Suzie, where did you get your Milky Way Elephant Ear?....I want one...lolol...Judy
I got it from Hummernut. I think he got his from Winterberry Farms.
Let me know if you don't find the Dipper I'll be Fall claening (remember that...lol) here in a bit.
Last Fall I think I had 3 dozen and about 20' of runners.
I gave away about 2 dozen of them at the Roundup.
I don't remember if Peggy got any or not.
Ric
Well if you're gonna be "cleaning up" you can toss one my way! I'll try to find something you don't have to tempt you with.
Ric, Im pretty new to EEs what are Dippers?....Judy
I think Peggy and I both got the Milky Way and Dippers. Do they have to reach a certain size or age to get the variegation? So far as I know, both of ours are still green.
As Milky Way gets older, it gets more variegation. When mine was a baby plant, it was mostly green.
I will have to go look. I want to say mine is a couple of feet tall and still pure green on the leaf.
You are such a baaad influence....lol All of you...... :)
I'm trying to avoid the tropical forum cuz everytime I stop in, I get into frenzy and hop over to ebay....This is not good...I'm in zone 5...
Susie the ears are all beautiful.
I still have the ones from you from last year. Black Magic is very impressive. I think it loves the heat.....
Keep the pictures coming, I can't help it... I'm an addict..

That reminds me, I need to move some cash to my paypal account..........
Some?...... get real..... :)~
OK, lots of cash, lol. Who needs to eat? I'll just make poi out of the ears.
Ok, this is the 3rd time..what is a Dipper?..please answer Im dying to know.....lolol..Judy
It's an elephant ear, sort of like the Dipping Gourd hosta, it has a turned up edge.
Ohhhh Im going to have to look that one up.....thanks Susie
Neat thing with the dippers, they are kind of like those little Japanese bamboo fountains, where the tube tips when it get enough water. LOL
I have been leaving any paypal money sent to me, in the account so I can save it for a rainy day. :)

And here's a baby Dipper doing it's thing.
We call the little ones Drippers :)
Ric
Ric, thanks for the picture...that is one pretty dipper..Ive always loved EEs because of the way water runs off them..I stand there watering them just to see the water beading up and rolling off...silly me huh?..lol...Judy
And I thought I had a lot of ees.
Here is Big Dipper if you can find it hiding in the grasses. lol Ric yes my big dippers came from you and I shared with Cala. I really like it. It was a new one for me this year.
I still can't find it. I remember planting it in a big pot with other stuff(I only have about 20 big pots so I should be able to find it). I remember thinking "I'll remember where this is". I can't remember.........
Looks good Peggy!
It's the most prolific EE we have.
I've found runners 6' away from the parent plant.
I've found them very unforgiving of dry soil though.
One day dry in the heat and sun and they fry around the edges.
Here's some at our back entrance,
Notice they are a bit crispy.
I grow all mine in water now.
I'd say 4-6' is a representative size in water.
