ALOCASIAS AND COLOCASIAS (ELEPHANT EARS)

I had planned to spend this weekend in the garden but ended up staying indoors being sick all weekend. Blast! But so it isn't a total loss, I figured I'd do a new entry, with some pics of some of my favorite new plants. Alocasias and Colocasias are two type of plants also known as Elephant Ears because these plants have some of the largest leafs in existence. The photo above shows the plants that I recently got, all babies or teenagers. The photos below show what some of these plants will look like when they're full grown. All of them will grow over 4 feet tall and some will be over 10 feet. (Did I mention that I have a fairly small apartment garden??)

CHEAP CITRUS TREES AND GRAPE VINES!

I found these baby lemon and naval orange trees and Concord grape vines on sale at Lowes. The vines are normally $7 and the trees are $20 but they were all on sale for only $1 each!! Even though I really don't have room for these in my small garden, this deal was simply too good to pass up. Vincent couldn't agree more.
