#Colocasia esculenta aka #taro
The first frosts will arrive, so it's time to harvest the taro. This was my first attempt, starting with just one tuber, and I got over 2 kg! Fantastic. 😀🌱
I even kept a few young plants for the 2026 crop.
Aloe blooms today, coral pink tubes arcing over Colocasia ‘Redemption’. Hoping a hummingbird stops in for a sip. OM1 90mm macro.

A brief shower left some drops on the #Colocasia we have at the edge of the rain garden. I like big leaves and I can not lie, so you're getting photos of it.... 😜

I have to make a choice… produce electricity with my solar panels or let my #colocasia esculenta (aka #taro ) grow 😅🌱
The leaves have become so large and tall that they hide the solar panels
A good mix: #Colocasia ‘Jack’s Giant’ and #coleus 🌱
Best time in the year for the exotics in the #garden #jungle vibes 🌱 🌴 #gardening #plants #garten #pflanzen @botanical.bsky.social #begonia #colocasia
A bright green Pacific Chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla) perches on the black leaf of a Colocasia esculenta 'Illustris'. The frog is green with a black eye stripe; the leaf is black with bright green veins. The background is a sea of Colocasia leaves.
A frog for those who need one.

#Colocasia esculenta aka #taro : grown from a corm. I brought back 2 from Reunion island.
I’ll be soon able to taste the first ones!
Does anyone know when to harvest them? As they come in or at the end of the season? I also don’t want to damage the plant and want to have some as a backup 🌱
Happy New Leaves

These guys are super easy to grow.

🇫🇷 Nouvelles pousses de Taro ou colocasia esculenta. Ma belle-soeur m'a rapporté quelques rhizomes de l'île de la Réunion en décembre et je les ai rapidement démarrés dans mon salon. Les voici aujourd’hui! Là-bas, ils appellent ça du songe, et j’ai hâte de voir si ça pousse en Normandie pour en manger ici.
New #Taro or #colocasia esculenta shoots. My sister-in-law brought me some rhizomes from Reunion Island in December and I quickly started them in my living room.
Here they are today! 😀🌱

In the depths of the South Welsh winter, this feels like a world away 😭

For reference, this is one of the mother leaves from this summer. The mother plant is no longer with us but she left a legion of children 😅😂🥲 #colocasia #alocasia #pharaosmask #plants #houseplant #plantselfie #green #beautiful #houseplantcommunity
Can’t WAIT for spring and summer to to have my green house looking like this again 😭😭😭 a few of these I lost to the cold, but they will forever be in my heart! #greenhouse #plants #houseplants #garden #monstera #colocasia #pothos #philodendrin #begonia
Black and white photo of the large leaves of a plant commonly called "Elephant Ears" due to their similarity in appearance. The photo emphasises their structure in the intense tropical light. Shot in northern Queensland, Australia in 2011. Nikon D200 | 35mm | f9.0 | 1/200s
We used to call these Elephant Ears.

Happy anniversary to me. One year since I impulse brought a #houseplant that has now spiraled into a houseplant addiction.
Left is #Alocasia Frydek variegated.
Right is #Colocasia mojito

Colocasia ‘Black Magic’ is a well known form but tricky to overwinter. It is the plant C. ‘Mojito’ came from. I’m currently trialling C. ‘Black Coral’ and C. ‘Black Sapphire Gecko’ and will post results next year.
Overwintering some of the more tender #colocasia can be a challenge. The secret is to pot them down into smallest pots you can cram them in & keep ticking over on a heated tray.
C. ‘Mojito’ here is a sport from C. ‘Black Magic’ (last pic) & is gorgeous. Gets big bedded out in summer!
Just before the frost, I dug up my Colocasia Pharaoh’s Mask to prep for winter. This striking Brian Williams variety has been a bold accent in my garden for three years, with dramatic veined foliage that’s captivated all season.
