Bet this looks familiar yet is is 12" tall--a bloom on an Elephant Ear plant or a Taro plant.
In the same family as Caladium but on steroids!
This plant is 8' tall! We've never seen them flower so this was a treat!
This pretty little growing vine is blooming-looks like a squash or cuke, right?
It is a Loofa plant-it loves to climb and the dead trees out back
make a perfect place to make a totem pole!
Another plant that is very tall, and large-almost 18" on this plant is wild Millet seed.
Anyone have a parakeet-they love this treat!
It is a very pretty wetland plant and we have a few of them with seed heads right now-
don't worry, the birds will eat them as soon as they ripen!
I'm with Dee. I had no idea that Elephant Ears bloomed either. Your garden is beautiful with such unusual plants.

I didn't know that Elephant Ears were Taro plants. What cool blooms. I have a friend who grows them here in Wisconsin. They have to dig them up every fall and bring them inside. Then their living room is like a rain forest. The plants are so large now that they bought horse troughs to hold them in the winter!
