I was thinking that it was Colocasia gigantaea, myself.

Yep, the only Xanths found here are the small ornamental ones. So far there are none of the big ones introduced here.

It truly is a monster. Wish they would grow that big here.

The plant is one of the many varieties of the
Colocasia odora found here. In my haste of posting, I did not mention the name.
I wouldn't call this big at all as Lorax said. It is a medium one and they can go much bigger depending where they are found.
