I just love how much space they take up - and boy does Plant Delights have some fun ones. Have you seen Colocasia esculenta 'Mojito' PPAF? It seems like it would be mandatory for an intoxicated garden gardener! I haven't tried 'Giganteum', but I think it's one that I've got to get next spring.Pamhttp://www.talesfromthelaboratory.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-73070268672774144752009-09-03T19:31:27.064-07:002009-09-03T19:31:27.064-07:00Jim that was not a gunnera; it was the Thai Giant ...Jim that was not a gunnera; it was the Thai Giant colocasia.

Was surprised how big it got!!<br /><br />Love your pics with the big, big leaf plants. Nice to get a tropical feel in a northern climate.

Drought-tolerant plants tend to have teeny-tiny leaves, so it's especially nice to have large foliage for contrast when you can.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-63866679058621116052009-09-02T20:34:13.926-07:002009-09-02T20:34:13.926-07:00Beautiful!
