Re: My Biggest Project Ever!
Haha... I have finally been getting commets from the neighbours. I only wish that I would be able to see it mature. I am sure I can recreate something just as good at my new house.

Re: My Biggest Project Ever!
Do it! I love reading them and seeing pics. It is also something that I have enjoyed because I can take breaks if I want and no one cares, but they will read it once you start posting again.

Re: My "Elephant Ear" Collection
I think you have a Colocasia fontanesii on your hands. I know some have that glossy leaf. Not sure on its hardiness, but I know it is a very fast spreader.

Re: My "Elephant Ear" Collection
I have never noticed pups making the main plant grow any slower than normal. All of my established ones continue to pup like crazy and are taller and wider than they were last year.

Re: My "Elephant Ear" Collection
I haven't noticed pupping causing the main plant to slow down in growth. Usually by the time the runner starts to make leaves it has grown or will grow its own set of roots.

Re: My "Elephant Ear" Collection
Yeah, some of mine are pretty weedy even up here. 'Pink China' and 'Black Pearl' are very weedy. For me, weedy is good cause that makes them have a better chance on returning in my eyes. Lol.

Re: My "Elephant Ear" Collection

Re: My "Elephant Ear" Collection
I think you will have no problem over wintering 'Pink China'. You should also try 'Black Pearl' which is rated down to zone 6 and possibly colder. It has grown a lot faster than 'Pink China' and...

That is quite cool. I know you can do this with Amaryllis easily and I would think the other lillies would be pretty easy too.
