You have lots of little plants already in that clump of Elephant Ears, Laura. By the end of summer, each of those plants will be a lot bigger if you water and fertilize them, and they will probably make "pups" or offsets that you can separate from the mama plant to start new ones. If you want some to bring in for the winter, so you can start them again next spring, you can bring in the little pups, and either grow them as indoor plants or let them gradually dry out, keep them cool and plant again next spring. You might even keep some of the original plants alive through the winter with a deep layer of mulch - wood chips or dead leaves, piled on top of the plants once the tops die back.

Not sure what the other plant is, but it will be a lot easier to ID if you'll wait a couple of weeks and post it again when it is in bloom.
