    Welp i was pulling weeds with Sancho (he really does help, he eats this wild mint/clover stuff) and right before i absolutely faceplanted in the yard, I noticed this lil guy! 20260623_150421.jpgScreenshot_20260623_152446_Gallery.jpg

    Not only that, but look at the size of this new leaf. Uhh house for scale. Ok that's misleading, but still.

    Nice one John!

    Thanks! All of them are pupping like crazy.

    I also don't remember if I posted this one before. Colocasia Thai Giant, which is the world's largest elephant ear. Size 11 and trachycarpus trunk for scale. I've got 2 more that just sprouted so I'm gonna try to flip these.

    That trachycarpus trunk looks like a very hairy human arm.
