A Very Good Year For The Elephant Ears



Well, for *my* elephant ears, anyway.

And that's quite a surprise considering that I've never had any before - and I started off by mistreating them.

That is to say, I planted the small coconut-size bulbs in the shade instead of the full sun demanded by the tag.

Not bad for something planted as recently as May 9, eh?

How much bigger might they have grown had they gotten ALL the sunshine they allegedly crave??

    Captcha is relordr, as in, time to relordr the measuring sticks.
