I missed the pictures somehow boo hoo. I'll have to do a search on your pictures. I really want uprights or black ones. By any chance are those the one your offering?

lol let me go find a picture. no black ones this year. I just bought a black magic yesterday so I will have some of those next season. But the ones I had were HUGE. Let me go find a picture

Lucy

LOL Im waiting. HEHEHE! Iwant the black one. LOL Just kidding I cant wait to see that one this summer!

Oooooohhhhhhh. Me!Me! Me! Please! Are they the giant colocasia? I like them much better than the alocasia.
Let me know and I can send postage.

{{gwi:455105}}From Pictures to share with Garden buddies

I will take names down and send them out as long as I have some to share ok? :-)

Lucy

Just if I never got your address...please send it to me know so I can put you in my share book

If they are the gaint ones Im In! Let me know about postage.

HOLY COW!! Thats tiny. I almost couldnt see them, I mean the house. LOL

Dang Lucy are those the ones you got from me? They look bigger than mine but I didn't water them enough this year.

Lucy, Would like to have one, PLEASE.
Let know about postage.
Dorothy

Wow Lucy...I think mine are getting flooded by the pond...I had them covered when we had the freeze/snow, and now they're flooding...boohoo

If you have any extra after you're "shared" them all, I'd be happy to give it a good home :)

knotz

Count me in if you have extra.....been wanting to try these.
Shawn

If you run out let me know. I have plenty more, lol. They do get that big if you water enough. We were in a drought I didn't water as much but last year when we had all that rain they got huge.

I will let you know when and if you owe me anything for shipping. Since I believe that if I do trade with a person, that then sooner or later it will come back to me. I mean the postage. I see how it goes ok.

Kristy no those I had bought around the same time you shared yours. Like I mentioned. The bigger the bulb gets, the bigger the ears will be. Those bulbs were huge and you should see them NOW lol. So hopefully they will grow real fast for the folks I will share them with!

Lucy

Lucy, I would love one.Thanks so much.Do you know what you have?
The one( it was green taro) I had in my pond stream was very invasive,it got under seam in my pond and caused a leak. What a mess!Had to chop it up to get it out.Lesson learned. Grow in an enclosed(no drainage holes either) container.
I guess you need to wait until it warms up here to ship:)

Theresa

Lucy,

Definitely try the Black Magic next year. You will be amazed at how tall and dark they get. They were the focal point if my backyard! Not all EEs are created equal however. Your basic Colocasia esculenta are pretty easy to store dry. Black Magic seems to be different, as it really doesn't seem to form a tuber. I'm trying several methods of overwintering this one (they actually all may be hardy in your area, so you can leave in ground). I'm growing some in pots in different parts of my home at different light levels and different temperatures. Also, a buddy suggests growing them in buckets of water with all soil washed off. So, I have two buckets of them growing in water as well.

Hi Lucy,

I would like one also. I have one called rhubarb it has red stems. I can possibly ship a baby of it this sprong to trade with you....Barb

DAve WOW! What a huge baeuty! I hope the little bulb I got myself from Lowes will become a HUGE one like yours eventually. I just totally love the color! EE's is another plant I grow successfully so I LOVE them lol I only have one of the tuber EE's going in the house that I got from Kristy. It was in the wrong place during the summer so I dug it up and saved it to continue to grow over the winter. Good luck with your methods in finding the best way to overwinter them!

Barb that sounds like a winner to me :-)

I think the best and earliest to ship them off will be sometimes end of February if they are going to a warmer climate. Am I thinking right about the timing for shipping?

Lucy

Lucy that is still too cold in Wi more like april possibly march. I have to look up what they can handle as cold requirements.....You will like this one. I love the stems on it. I think it is one of the newer varieties that just came out. I got it at the end of the year clearance at a local gh here. I cant wait to grow yours it really gets huge.....Dave I tried keeping my black majic in water too. It didnt like it too much here. I put it back in soil and was much happier....

AW man theres my black one. LOL

I have small black magic ones in the garage. The others are hardy here Lucy.

I would love to have one if they have huge leaves. I want to make different shaped concrete leaves next year.

Linda

Oh Linda please tell us how to do that! I made stepping stones out of some leaves I grew and put the date. I would love to know how to do the leaves.....

If you have any remaining, I would love one. My DH has been telling me we must have EE's this year!

LMK. I can e-mail address. I'm more than willing to pay postage.

Thanks,
Amelia

LInda I hope you got a BIG walkway or where ever you want to place them hahaha I betcha they were like 5 feet tall. I should have measured them lol

Yes we will send them out when temperatures are safe for them to handle it.

Kristy I will leave those in the ground or barrels this year if I like the place, or should I say THEY like the place. But Last year I did not like where they were.

Amelia just mail me your address. I will not start shipping them out before middle of Feb. Even if it would be ok to send them off to warmer climates now. Got to concentrate on sowing seeds lol and on coming up with things for my daughters birthday beg. of february.

Looked at them today and I got LOTS. Even some of the babies are bigger then the bulb I started out with.

Lucy

Lucy, I have the perfect place in my friend's yard where her gray water empties. It stays well-watered all the time & gets about a half day of sun in part to shade under Oak trees where it runs. It's a big empty spot & this will fill it in & hide the mud. The EEs I grew in the past were dug up & all the leaves chopped off before frost & stored with other tubers & bulbs for the winter.

Dave, You mean you keep them growing all winter? I love the black one, very nice.

Linda
