A Nice Surprise

Tried growing these small Colocasia plants which I found  alongside my Vinca. I used to have them in different colors but they always die a natural death sometime during the summer to resurface again when rainy season is near.

I put the three tubers in a bottle with water and they now have long roots.  They are happily thriving inside our comfort room. They are also known as elephant ears or simply Taro or  gabi in Tagalog. I have the green ones at one  corner of the garden with large leaves.

This hasn’t unfurled yet but when it does, the leaves are large.

There are always surprises in the garden. Sometimes I find new shoots of plants that I used to have but have died on me for a time.

The garden is a place where we could spend those precious hours, head in the sun, dirt in your hands but a big smile on your face.
