The Arboretum had gorgeous elephant ear (Colocasia) plants everywhere in their landscape. This one had enormous black leaves, I thought my hand would show just how large the leaves were. Such a dramatic plant.
Such an unusual plant and colour - but perfectly named Wuth your manicured hand placed tenderly on the leaf , makes me think of the Beauty and the beast !!!!!
Good idea to include your hand for scale. There is a home near us that has two huge plants of the green variety growing in its front yard and we're not sure whether or not they're going to bring them in for the winter. They're quite large right now.
