Product Description:

Our Giant Colocasia bulbs are meticulously prepared and primed, ensuring they are ready to sprout as soon as you plant them. The bulbs come in a range of sizes, from the compact golf ball to the more substantial softball size. Regardless of the initial size, each bulb is destined to grow into the same magnificent plant.

The Giant Colocasia is truly a spectacle of nature. When it reaches its peak, it stands as one of the largest in the plant kingdom, growing up to an impressive 10 feet in height. The leaves, a striking light green/gray hue, can grow up to 5 feet long and 4 feet wide. These leaves increase in size each year, adding a dynamic, ever-evolving element to your garden.

Cultivation is flexible and rewarding. For optimal growth and the biggest, most luscious leaves, we recommend planting your Colocasia in a location that receives full sun and regular, heavy watering. However, it also thrives in partial sun. Expect to see signs of growth within 6 to 8 weeks after planting.

  • Light: Thrives in full sun to part shade
  • Indoor Culture: Adapts well as a container plant for indoor settings
  • Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained soil. Maintain moisture without over-saturating

Embrace the grandeur and tropical beauty of the Giant Colocasia in your garden. With its easy-to-grow nature and awe-inspiring size, it's sure to be a conversation starter and a centerpiece in any garden setting.

Zoning Notes:

Zones 8 and Warmer: The plants can stay outside but will need a blanket of leaves and grass

  • Let the frost desiccate the elephant’s ear’s stems naturally. Cutting leads to rot
  • Mow over fallen tree leaves and lawn grass to chop them up
  • Wrap chicken wire around the plant, and reinforce it with rebar posts stuck into the ground. The wire should be 16 inches from the central stems and tall enough to hold a 6-inch depth of leaves around the base of the plant
  • Fill the cage with the prepared leaf-and-grass mixture, and uncover the plants after the last spring frost

Zones Below 8: The plants need to come indoors.

  • Cut stems to 6 inches tall after the first frost
  • Place the tubers in a bulb crate, plastic pot, or grocery bag, and lightly cover the tubers with a mix of peat and soil
  • Dampen the mixture with water, and set the container in a cool, dark place to make sure the plant stays dormant. Keep the tubers moist but not wet; wet roots will rot

Ancient Greece: the progenitor for modern day civilization
Format: Kindle
This enthralling text explores Ancient Greece from its Bronze age origins to its capitulation under the Roman Empire. Furthermore, it emphasizes the long-reaching impact this heterogeneous collection of city-states had on political, scientific, mathematical, philosophical, architectural, and military development. All of this was accomplished in spite of constantly shifting intra-regional conflict between Athens, Thrace and Sparta. Outside enemies like the Persian empire only complicated relations further. This sibling rivalry-of-sorts evolved when Alexander the Great's Macedonian empire conquered the Greek world and supplanted itself in the greco-persian conflict. While Macedonia's did embroil the internecine conflicts in the area they hellenized the regions they conquered, including: Persia,Egypt, and parts of India. However, when Alexander the Great died it left a power vacuum exploited by his men, the Romans, and the Ancient Greeks. This ultimately resulted in the Roman Empire. Ancient Greece set the stage for roman empire and while they were an autonomous union of city-states for much of their existence two things united them: their language and religion. These two cultural touchstones united these city-states as brothers, albeit with a love-hate relationship at times. This text explores the archaic,classic, and hellenic periods of Greek history in a fascinating and concise manner. It is a must-read.

Enlightening
Format: Paperback
I discovered a number of interesting things reading this book. I learned for example, that Sparta was indeed a warrior city, with men training to be soldiers from an early age and living in barracks, even when they were married. This and the death rate from fighting led to a low birth rate and their eventual demise. I also discovered that athletes in the original Olympics did indeed compete naked and that making a false start to a race was not a good idea, as people who did that were executed! I also learned that there were Greeks who believed the Earth was round and that it circled the sun, hundreds of years before Copernicus. I also discovered that the various Greek factions, (e.g. Athens, Sparta, Macedonia etc.) seemed to be constantly fighting one another). I knew that Alexander the Great built a massive empire but did not realize the extent of that empire until I read this tome. I also discovered that Aristotle was a student of Plato, who in turn was a student of Socrates Overall, it was a very enlightening read where I gathered all sorts of interesting facts

No stars
Format: Hardcover
No author or publisher provided in the book. Reads, appears, and presents it self like an AI generated high High School project. Most importantly I returned it.

Bear Witness
Format: Kindle
This is an excellent read for anyone ignorant of the history of Slavery in the United States. It is this account that jolted the abolitionist movement that would later lead to the emancipation proclamation. It is a quick and powerful read of our shameful pass. But it is necessary for us to learn our pass to move forward.

Skip the introductions and go right to the narrative
Let's face it. Most of the history I read is written by white people. Some things need to be read in the "first person" and this is one of them. Not only is it a landmark book (not just for it's time but for all time), it is still easy to read, believable, compassionate to all (including slave owners) and completely gripping. It is not too brutally descriptive to be disturbing to any older kids or teens I know, and it is a patient, instructive and compelling story that I believe could still be a powerful, memorable and life changing read for anyone. Personal Note: I went to Maryland public schools in the 70's and early 80's. This was not on my required reading list. I wish it had been, but then maybe I would have hated it. The story of Frederick Douglas is to me overwhelming. The indictment of Southern Christianity is also particularly grievous. I do feel like I'm beginning to get a sense of the longtime North - South cultural divide as a matter of regional . . . religious . . . and economic ... pride. Misc Notes: 1. Brer Rabbit - in the intro to my book - Robert O'Meally mentions Brer Rabbit and Disney's now banned (and well censored) in the USA "Song Of The South" movie (think "Zip-A-De-Do-Da") - I don't have any wisdom on this but Brer Rabbit is a vaguely forbidden character in our country, as is Bugs Bunny, who the writer indentifies as a modern day Brer Rabbit. I always liked Bugs Bunny, but you don't see these cartoons around. I have an older African American friend who asked me if I could find a copy of "Song of the South" which he had fond memories of watching in the movie theater as a kid. Well I couldn't . . . 2. In my appendix, there is mention of pro slavery arguements of the 1840's. One is to the effect of "Slavery itself doesn't hurt slaves . . . its the abuse of slavery by slaveholders that hurts slaves." Hmmm, that sounds familiar . . .
