A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2005 this is not obscene!!!

These are not obscene pictures!!!

Actually that top picture looks like a finger sticking up through the dirt....

Sorry I can't help you out--I've never grown them, but I just had to come in and give a laugh at yout topic title.....of course it intrigued me......

Me too

And I am also clueless.

Hi Lynne

isn't nature a hoot.Mine look like that too in the beginning.

Later on you will get shoots coming up from those little bumps.

btw,good for you ,reusing those pots.Lots of folks just throw them away duckie

Obscene....????? Had to look, and got a good giggle. The kids came by, did a double take, and said that didn't look right!!!

If you want to see a "peculiar" looking plant, look up the dracunculus vulgaris...

The title "grabbed" me too

Sorry I can't help you...but...thanks for the giggle!

G-Mom

That is what your elephant ears should look like

A few days later... look what's happening! YEA!!!

hey,

had a giggle cuz if you think it looks like it...got to ask a question: you ve got kids

and for 2 pix, well if you find one that grows a green crookes thing...back up a few steps

all kidding aside,el.ears are very beautyful ,good luck with it!!

hi lynne,

here is a good sit that shows you your elephant s ears from seedlings

www.theseedsite.co.uk

hope it s helpful to you,it s mary that told me about this site.

Now that we're back in business, thought I'd share a picture of my elephant ears now that they are planted outside. They are just LOVIN' the extreme heat and humidity we've been having these past few weeks. Today was a record breaker at 94. Supposed to be a high around 70 on Thursday - that will feel downright cold in comparison!

I love those two colors together,
the blue and the green like...
Great picture!!!

good lookin elephant ears...nice grass too! I want pretty grass so bad....

hi Lynne,

A big plant, a big name, a big stink.

Papito - I have actually seen this plant in the news before - would love to see something like that up close and personal!

ya know, i'm looking at these pictures of the dracunculus vulgaris or voodoo lily, and i just don't see why people call it "the most erotic plant on earth". looks like a calla lily with a long pointed pistol to me. >.< I really don't see any suggestive shapes in that plant... someone wana PM me and explain?
