Well my leaves are hug. That is why I fell in love with the plant. What ever it is, I am enjoying watching it bloom one flower every day. I think there is a total of 10 on this one stem.

I've done some research this afternoon on my plant. If I look up elephant ears, I find it right away. Nothing said about it blooming. Just a large green plant. If I look up canna, I find one that looks like it called Canna "President". hahaha The only difference in all the other canna's I found had "red" around or in the leaves (real pretty) and mine are totally green like the "President". Wonder if my bulbs were mislabled since mine bloomed and I guess elephant ears don't. At least I can't find a picture of one blooming. Oh well, I'm happy with it. :)

Hey, enjoy it, whatever it is! Maybe those sneaky cannas mated with elephant ears and this is what you get, hee hee hee. You definitely have elephant ear leaves there, I can see them. Funny, but really pretty! Hugs, Marji

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Isn't is odd how we know different plants by other names. All I know is this is the name on the package. :)

The canna I know does not get this large. I have some of them also.

Well not sure. It is not hummid to me because we moved to Boise from Texas where it IS diffently humid. Some here complain about humidity. I feel it is just perfect. I notice that I wax my furniture more because of the dryer climate. We have 4 seasons so I dig the bulbs up in the winter and store and replant in the spring.

I didn't either. None of the pictures in the seed catalogues ever said anythng. I have only seen huge green leaves on everything I have seen. You would have cracked up if you saw my face and little dance I did when I saw it. hahahaha
