Alocasia, colocasia, taro = elephant ear. There is a black variety that is very popular this year. Park's Seed, Wayside Gardens. Plant Delights has the most varieties that I know of. They're on the web. Good Luck!-

Description?
Hi Ellyne: There are actually quite a few plants that are commonly called 'Elephant Ear'....Philodendron bipinnatifidum is one
Posted by Nan from Wi / 4 on 2002-01-18 14:04:01
Philodendron selloum is another
Acanthus is another, and there's a tree called Elephant Ear....Enterolobium cyclocarpum, and, there are a few begonias referred to as 'Elephant Ear Begonia' (B.Erythrophylla, B. Scharfii, B. San Miguel.....I'd bet she's referring to one of the philodendrons.....
