Megmeg, you have had a productive day.  That is more than I could say for myself.  I hope all your flowers bloom like crazy. 

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him will not perish but have everlasting life.  John 3:16

Green ones are nice!

Megan, the green ones are real nice. They grow super big, though, and they grow very fast.....I feed my elephant ears Epsom Salts and they love it. I try to give them about half a cup every other week. Other than that, I just give them LOTS of water. If you get a lot of rain, just watch......rain is like steroids for Elephant Ears. It makes them grow really fast.

I saw some huge plain green EE bulbs at Walmart for $2.98 each!

We'll all have to post pictures of our Elephant Ears and compare notes once they really start growing!

Megan, I LOVE Elephant Ears. Do you know what kind you planted or are they just the plain green ones? Just wait! You'll see how neat looking they are and fun! Remember to give them LOTS of water. They really like it!
