Can anyone ID my 3 Elephant ears

Grantsboro, NC(Zone 8b)

I have them name because of where I got them but what are they really?

number 1 I call it Steve because my Cousin in Carrollton Ga dies and willed me his flowers.

Looks like you are doing a good job of caring for them.

Lavina, are those the only ears you have? I have several duplicates that I would trade or send for postage if you'd like others.

Yelp that is it. I would love to have some more kinds.I am going to the coast tomorrow night and will not be back until Friday week but I will try to remember to contact you when I get back.
I did not know there were so many different kinds. Its a surprise to me to see how neat they are, And the one that came up in the hanging basket was a real surprise. I thought it was a empty pot. I almost put more dirt in it and planted petenias so when I saw something sprouting I was real curious. Glad I waited and did not disturb the plant.

Be sure to get in touch Lavina. I have a bunch of different ones that are still small.

Mary, you hit the one that I only have one of! That is surely a favorite of mine too. :)
