Heart

Colocasia leaf One of the common names of Colocasia plants is "elephant ears" because of the shape of their leaves. Some species look more like hearts to me.

I always think of them as elephant ears

We had several of these at our house in east Ocala. Elephant ears is what we called them. They would pretty much die out during the coldest part of the winter but always came back with a vengeance in the summer. I liked them a lot.

It looks like a heart to me as well, but then I don't have experience with elephant ears!

Gosh. Here we have green plants inside. They would not survived out in the cold......
