Elephant Ears Midnight, one of the darkest elephant ear variety yet developed. Leaves are smoky black and velvety in appearance and stems are also dark. Similar to Black Magic, its leaves start out dark purple / green and morph into a deep dark purple black as the plant matures. Plant and leaves are also larger than Black Magic and stems are darker too, having a burgundy wine coloration.
see leaves and deep red stems in first 5 pics.  The 6th photo shows plant with yard stick similar to plant you will receive.

More differences of Midnight, see 7th pic is it readily produces runners on which new plants will develop not just new plants along side of mature plant. Aka Black Runner in some areas, so if put in ground give plenty of space. The 8th pic shows deep red stems of Midnight, Black Magic stem is green covered in red spots and reddish at end. The 9th pics shows underside of leaf, Midnight has deep red stem and veins through the leaf, Black Magic has lesser. Last two show young small leaf is darker where Black Magic will be green and underside red veins even as new leaf.  See pics in Black Magic listing.

Midnight is a so called runner type and there are green forms too. So yes I have seen Midnight called Black Runner and Black Marble called Midnight and Black Magic called Midnight and more. It gets confusing. This happens a lot when people in different areas use different names for same plant. Sometimes same name is used for different plants of same type or even of complete different genus. I believe there are photos out there of what is C. Marble or C. Black Marble being labeled as Midnight. The photos show a part dark and part green leaf, a marble effect. Similar to Mojito but less spots. Midnight by definition refers to total darkness, totally black. Not dark spots on grey green leaf. You do not name your Pet Midnight if it is spotted, stripped, not all black haired.

In research I found follow articles I used to support my wholesale purchase of type of plant. See; 

( http://elephantearsplants.com/elephantearsmidnight.htm )        ( https://www.agristarts.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/plants.plantDetail/plant_ID/23/index.htm ) and regarding Black marble

( https://www.plantdelights.com/products/colocasia-esculenta-black-marble ) (  https://www.floridaaquatic.com/pond-plant-blank-h9emk )

Photos that look like Black Marble labeled as ( Midnight ) I believe are in error. Black Marble may also be known as Midnight Luxury variegated ori. But should not be labeled just as Midnight. 


Midnight is also a dwarf elephant ear plant that reaches up to around 3 feet tall not the 6 - 10 foot type. Great for ponds or marshy bogs and prefers bright filtered light, sun with some shade.

You will receive a single rooted plant similar to the one pictured with yard stick, not actual plant. 
Listing is for single rooted plant around 20" to 2 feet height. Plant you will receive will be trimmed for shipping. Plant will be sent in wrapped root ball and largest top leaves will be cut for shipping purposes so plant height when sent will be between 15 - 20" and ready to pot or place in ground.

Definitely A Must Read!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Dr. Michele Borba’s latest book, Thrivers, is a must-read for every parent, grandparent, educator, or just anyone working with children. Dr. Borba speaks from the heart with years of research to back up every word. Wisdom oozes from every page of Thrivers. One of her quotes that really resonated with me was, “Character is what builds inner strength, genuineness, and wholeness and helps turn kids who strive for the next gold ring into young adults who thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing world. When kids are missing character strengths like optimism, curiosity, empathy, and perseverance their development is incomplete.” Thrivers is filled with “Seven Teachable Skills That Set Happy, Healthy, High-Performing Kids Apart”. Thrivers shows us exactly how to instill these incredibly important missing character pieces in our children/students so they won’t be incomplete. This is crucial so they will be prepared for whatever they are faced with in the future. I want my students to be Thrivers! Dr. Borba’s book is just what we need! What an inspirational read!

Fantastic book to validate and inspire parents!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I just finished reading this with my book club and it is superb! Researched, practical, and written by a mother and educator with a wealth of experience. This is the mentor you wish lived in your neighborhood or taught at your school! One of the best parenting books I've read and I love growth and strengths mindset of this book. If you get a chance, listen to her on a podcast or video because she is a dynamic speaker and very inspiring!

Spreading wisdom
Format: Paperback
Of course my kids delivered a disappointed ‘Thanks’ when opening the gift. I listened on audio and knew I couldn’t remember to pass on the interesting facts and ideas that I learned, so I bought the books as gifts. Some ideas are old and some are new. Overall a great read.

Good enough, good points
Format: Hardcover
Definitely a book that makes a lot of good points. It's very repetitive though. And lots of it is common sense. If you want to learn why your children are overwhelmed, it definitely explains why

ESSENTIAL for all parents and educators to read
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
As an elementary educator for the last fifteen years, I finally found a book that put all the frustration and wondering of why kids come to school struggling, drained, and overwhelmed. Borba states, "We are creating strivers, not thinkers, produced to be test-takers while missing the opportunity to be people." She points out that we are all running on empty. In her book, she discusses the 7 core strengths that kids need in order to shine. Thrivers not only provides readers with current research, but it has practical and easy tips that both parents and educators can do to help foster a new generation of thrivers and not strivers. If you are worried about your children's mental health, depression, anxiety, and stress, you must read this book. This book comes at a time when we all must work together to move the pendulum of what achievement looks like in 2021 and reimagine education for our youth, tweens, teens, and young adults. Truly, this book has been life-changing.
