    Nice! Unique perspective, ears and tails!
    Your elephant ears surely do add a lot of interesting shape and color to the garden, don't they? Very lovely.

    DB, I didn't think of it that way. Kizzie is jealous because she doesn't have but a bit of a tail, maybe an inch long. She tortures Nudger, always getting his tail. It's funny to watch them play.

    Oh, she sure doesn't have a tail! I didn't notice that. How cute.

    Your Elephant Ears are gorgeous Sharon! I finally bought myself some this year but they are just green. I love your first one...dark with the green veins...very nice :)

    Have never attempted growing the Elephant Ears. I love the texture and stature of them.

    Love the elephant ears. I bought what claimed to be a black magic last year, but it was anything but that. And I love the African Mask. The kitties are so cute. Poor little Kizzie! :-|

    Love the elephants ears. I am looking for plants for my dry garden and these would look great. Do they need a moist position I wonder?

    Your ears are gorgeous, and so are the cuties with tails. :D

    GG, I think they tend to like moisture, my Illustris are growning in a tub of water right now until I decide where to put them.

    Oh what a pity, I had just the place for them. Never mind perhaps I will get some and put them round my pond :)
