Elephant Ear/Taro

The elephant ear is strikingly beautiful–huge and green. The zebra of the plant family. Here is one that is flowering. I caught it as the bud appeared but missed the days it flowered. I do love its decline there’s something attractive about it.

I have grown elephant ears however I have never seen one bloom. It does look to be going to seed as well. Is this true or is it the bloom? Interesting!!!

It is the first time that I see the flower of an elephant ear.
There is always something new to see in Dale’s garden.
