Here's an elephant ear for you. I can't say much about it. My mother planted it and that put's it on the high side of forty years old.

I particularly love all the aerial roots. That thick, short green 'shoot' at the grow point is actually a closed flower.

It lives along a north facing wall and has been well neglected. It now enjoys more light as we removed an adjacent walkway trellis recently.

Here's an overview of the bed. Don't let the picture fool you. The elephant ear is a beast that has carved out a big space among the nandinas.
