Seems I've heard a rumor they grew gunnera, the undisputed king of big leaves; if so they must have come up with some way to protect it, as its hardy only to zone 7. <br /><br />Big pots are easy to move with handtruck. Saves a lot of wear and tear on the back.Steve Silkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11531018499519950491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170210501356136695.post-82827988961331309552009-07-11T10:03:30.373-04:002009-07-11T10:03:30.373-04:00Steve what cool foliage!

I love the texture and movement in those leaves... though nothing quite like what is there... your elephant ears remind me of North Hill ... you must know it... Joe and Wayne have some large leafy creatures growing there ... but in the ground. Wish I could remember what they are. Your plant must be growing in a very large pot... hard to move around! Beautiful photo... as always.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067132532095325169noreply@blogger.com
