any guesses on which this one is.. I bought them at costco last year.. and the first time I ever grew EE's they were big and pretty and I would love to know which they are so I can buy more this year

Looks like Colocasia gigantea.

Alocasia macrorrhiza?

thank you but I meant the big green EE.. not the smaller colored caladium

Allison, Take a look at Colocasia esculenta in the DB. Elephant Ear (Colocasia esculenta)

oh wow .. I think you got it.. thanks!!.. good news is I already ordered that one from Caladiums for less!!!

Allison, if you want to try some EEars on the cheap visit a Spanish market. I bought some Yautia (like a shorter, fatter parsnip) and Malanga. These are Xanthosoma. Some pics here The thread "Growing tropicals in the north" in Tropicals forum
An Asian market might have Taro (Colocasia esculenta) and Alocasia. The Xanthosoma should get bigger for you than me. My largest got to about 5x5' clumps.

wow 5 x 5 is huge!!!.. thanks for the info!.. have your thread on my watch list now

Your welcome
