“Elephant ears” is the common name for a group of tropical perennial plants grown for their large, heart-shaped leaves. Most of these herbaceous species in the arum or aroid family (Araceae) that are offered as ornamentals belong to the genera Colocasia, Alocasia, and Xanthosoma, although there are others that have similar appearance and growth habits.

The first two genera are native to tropical southern Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Guinea, parts of Australia, or the Pacific Islands, while Xanthosoma is native to tropical America. Many of the species have long been grown for the edible starchy corms or tubers as an important staple food in tropical regions.

The leaves are edible, but they (and all parts of the plant) contain needle-like crystals of calcium oxalate which are a skin irritant, so they must be cooked first.

One of the most widely grown species is C.esculenta, called taro and many other common names. It has been cultivated in Asia and Polynesia for thousands of years, with over 200 cultivars selected for culinary or ornamental characteristics. This species naturalizes readily in wetlands in mild climates and is considered an invasive species along the Gulf Coast.
In cooler climates elephant ears are grown for their large leaves.
In the Midwestern garden these plants are grown for their flat sagittate (arrow- or heart-shaped) leaves that often have prominent veins. In their native habitat the smooth, waxy leaves will grow 3 feet long and 2 feet wide or more (depending on the species) but they tend to be much smaller when grown as a seasonal plant.
The leaves are held on the end of long petioles coming directly from the underground corm.
The leaves are held on the end of long, thick, succulent petioles coming directly from the underground corm. The petiole attaches near the center of the lower surface of the leaf (peltate) and the leaves are held perpendicular to the upright petiole with the leaves facing upward or outward.

The leaves of Alocasia and Xanthosoma are usually not peltate and are held more upright. These plants generally grow from corms (commonly called bulbs, although they are not true bulbs),

but some types also produce long, slender stolons (above ground runners), and others do not form corms. The lumpy corms with rough ridges have a brown skin and a white or pink interior. Some types of elephant ears also produce smaller tubers or “cormels” (also called “eddos”) which grow off the sides of the main corm.
Although elephant ears are grown primarily as foliage plants, they can bloom – but flowers are not common in the Midwest. The inflorescences are the typical aroid type with a white to yellow or light green spathe surrounding the spadix. They can be large, fragrant and attractive, but are normally hidden underneath the foliage. Fruits are globular green or yellow berries containing several seeds.
The flowers of Alocasia are a typical aroid type (L) with a white to green spathe surrounding a white or cream spadix (LC, C and RC), and may be followed by globular berries containing several seeds (R).
The standard emerald green C. esculenta, with a matte finish, used to be about the only type of elephant ear available to Midwestern gardeners, but over the past couple of decades breeding programs have produced a lot of new ornamental varieties. They vary in size from 8 inches to over 9 feet, but most are in the 3 to 5 foot range. Some of the many interesting cultivars available include (C. esculenta unless otherwise noted):

Reviews for "Unleash the Dino Chomp Power with Magic Tracks"
1. Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with Magic Tracks Dino Chomp. The concept seemed fun, but the execution was just not there. The dinosaur didn't interact with the track very well and didn't seem to "chomp" anything. The track itself was also flimsy and kept falling apart. Overall, it was a frustrating experience and not worth the money.
2. Mark - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Magic Tracks Dino Chomp, but it fell short of my expectations. The dinosaur was supposed to chase the car around the track and "chomp" it, but it barely moved. The track itself was difficult to assemble and came apart easily. The quality of the pieces was also questionable, as they broke easily. It's a shame because the idea was great, but the product just didn't deliver.
3. Emma - 2 stars - I found Magic Tracks Dino Chomp to be underwhelming. The dinosaur didn't chomp as promised, and the car didn't roll smoothly on the track. The track pieces didn't fit together well and kept popping apart. It was frustrating to play with, and my kids lost interest quickly. I would not recommend this toy for anyone looking for a fun and engaging track set.
4. David - 1 star - Magic Tracks Dino Chomp was a complete waste of money. The dinosaur barely moved and didn't interact with the track as described. The track itself was flimsy and fell apart constantly. The whole set felt cheaply made and wasn't worth the price. I will be returning it and looking for a better track toy that actually works properly.
