Elephant ears

This giant colacasia is doing a good job of hiding my air conditioner (and dog) this year. I think its the third year I've planted these bulbs. The leaves get bigger every year. I lift the bulbs in fall after the leaves die and store them in a paper bag in the basement over the winter. In the spring it usually takes me a few days of searching to find where I put them. Anyway, its a fun plant.

(Thanks for the correction on the colacasia!)
