These are from the bulbs I gave up on when nothing happened in the spring when I re-planted them after over-wintering them in peat moss in the garage. Even though our heat index is still around 105 degrees F., these continue to bloom. I threw them off “the edge of the world” in the front yard. There is no irrigation there. Amazing.
These are in the planter to the east in our yard. This planter has a lot of shade – I think TOO MUCH shade for the plants to be happy.
These are much happier. They are in a planter beside the front porch.
And these make my heart sing. I don’t know whether they will get taller than the windows behind them or not. They are way over my head now and seem to be smiling.

I found these mammoth elephant ears for $1 per bulb on clearance at Walmart. I planted them thinking it might be too late but they finally came up and I just love them because they’re huge and showy.
