Nancy's Revenge is a colocasia. Their leaves point down to the ground from the point where the stem and the leaf join together. Alocasia leaves point skyward from the point where the leaf and stem meet. That is the difference between the two species. Colocasias are bulbs. I planted these in April of this year. They return every year, and the plant gets bigger every year.
Colocasias are beautiful There are so many varieties. When lumped together their common name is Elephant Ears. That does not do them justice because the colors and patterns are so wonderful and varied that they deserve to called by their real names. Nancy's Revenge has enormous leaves, that is this particular colocasia's claim to fame.
