I thought it would be cool to plant 3 different Giant plants next to each other and see how big I can get them this year here in Ohio. I planted 2 of the biggest elephant ears and 1 of the largest bananas. They are left to right Colocasia Thailand Giant, Musa Mekong Giant and Alocasia Borneo Giant. I'm gonna try to update pics every month to document the growth here's the first ones...

Beginning of June...

They're growing good...the Borneo Giants leaf is kinda parallel with where I took the pic so you can't tell how big it is.

When I saw Bo's Colocasia, pictures, I had to have one of those. It is really growing now. It is so neat the way the leaf comes out.
