Xanthosoma Sagittifolium

Bushland, TX(Zone 6a)

Has anyone got one larger than this?
I'm wondering just how large these can get,still have another month or so of growing time,and mine has a new leaf unfolding now as well,but this one measured 51 inches long,and 40 inches wide.
I also have a portora,that is 49 inches long,by 31 inches wide.

Has yours flowered yet this summer?

Well it was in bloom last month,but it seems to bloom pretty often,wasn't sure you could cross polinate,the lime zinger colocasia seems to bloom in the winter time here,I was thinking if I could pollinate it with something with a larger ear,I might get these to have bigger ears than it has now.
I'll let you know when one comes in bloom again.
