Our backyard is celebrating the "wearing of the green" this week.
Our Elephant Ear is smiling in the sunshine. I dug out the Nikon 600 for these.
At one time we had these beauties outside the kitchen window, baby girl, our dog killed all of them. We found one small one and planted it and now it is about 4 feet tall.
It makes me happy.

It makes me happy, too. It is GREEN and PERFECT! The perfect subject of a blog post.
We have colocasia here too. I helped a friend plant one (that we had scavenged from a skip) in her backyard. You had to see the backyard - a rubbish tip of its own, and building rubble dating back to the construction of the apartment building in the 1960s. No one had ever tried to tidy it up till the friend moved in. The colocasia jumped into life. There are so many baby plants we are contemplating splitting it up and turning the tiny enclosed space into a jungle. Amazing plant.
we love that plant... maybe it can grow here too or is it too cold and too wet?
Oh I like this. Seeing anything green makes me happy. I can't wait to see things start to turn green around here.
You can make an umbrella from such a large tray ...
I think that's great!
We had those when we lived in VA and I LOVED them!! I can understand your cause for celebration...jp
Hello,
Love the elephant ears, they look so big! Beautiful plant.
Take care, enjoy your day!
I love Elephant Ears and have planted them in my yard many times, but they've never survived :(
You could almost park your chair under it!
I love Elephant ears...mom had one one time that had a leave a yard wide.
.wide. not long. I bet that big might be common down there.
It almost looks like a collard leaf!!!
Very nice green for the celebration tomorrow

I'm besotted 😍 by the lines in the last photo!
Glad to know y'all aren't planning to actually wear them. The title had me going for a minute. (*giggling*)

I adore foliage plants and this counts in the top ten for the garden I think! YAM xx
Those are some huge plants. Good that some of it came back. So you have some or all Irish blood?
Love the shades of green and the plant is aptly named for sure.
I love all the textures showing in your shots.
Got some errands to run today I will write an update later.

A few of our neighbors have had food luck growing those elephant ears, but they don't last in the winter. Maybe Mom could try some in the front yard where we can't get at them:)

Beautiful leaves and such rich color.
We here in droughtland love seeing pictures of green plants. 😊
Those are gorgeous!
It's a beautiful plant. I love those large leaves and have seen them on our trips. The foliage is so tropical looking.
They are so pretty and very green!
