did you see the size of those EE's?
My goodness. I've never seen any that big.
The picture really doesnt show just how big they are.

I saw a leaf that was bigger than me!!

wow!!

Guardian Girl, Your picture no.3 is exactly what I have been looking for, now if any of you know what it's called - please tell me. I think they are just gorgeous. Hope you enjoyed your ride out!

Elephant Ears - should not be hard to get. I think there may be a Alocasia/Colocasia forum.

I believe #3 is a Xanthosoma Sagittifolium . It gets huge.

Seemama, I just traded for one today.
You'll find one, Now you know the name.

Seemama,
I always pull up my extras and either give them away or toss them. I am sure I can find you one or two.

Ohh dont toss them.
I love these. Just send'em this way.
They grow so nicely in my area

I will keep that in mind. Xanthosomas grow very well here. The more rain, the bigger they get. I have some that tower over seven feet. You should see the size of the bulb/tuber/whatever.

I believe it . I saw some bigger that that! As you see in the pic the ones I saw were taller than the house. The leaves were as big as me I'm 5'1.

Mine towers over the six foot privacy fence. They do get big if you give them the right amount of water.

What a great ride you took GuardanGirl. I do that too. I love to look at what others have in their gardens.

Oh Ada your EE is just beautiful. I love it. Is this one of the ones you sent me? I am in love.

Yes, Kell. I sent you one of these.

They are all doing GREAT!! I am in trouble now. LOL I need to start a garden on my roof.

Buy more land, Kell. LOL

I really need to move, Ada.

anyone know the name of plant #1


thanks

Agava ameriacana variegata.
Variagated century plant.

Thank you very much.

I got that wrong! it was Pic No.4 the lovely palm tree that looks like a pineapple at the base! The pictures were so nice I got carried away! Thanks for all those replies, now I have to ask you to start all over again!!!! I don't think I can cope with the Elephants Ears although I am rather partial to Elephants! Now if any one can tell me the name of the palm tree that would be great!.

I dont know the name sorry.

These are awsome pictures. Can you tell me what #6 is. It is so big and beautiful.

I believe this is :

Philodendron selloum var. lundii



I know for sure its a Philodendron but cant really tell the type. Looks like its the one I've named above
