    When I first arrived here in March this year, I had a query with my Elephants Ears.

    Well, after all your advice, and still nothing happened, I still couldn't throw away the last surviving bulb.
    I was clearing out yet more space in the greenhouse this afternoon, when I came across a manky pot tucked under the bench. As I was just throwing it into the rubbish, I noticed a green speck in the compost. YES!!!!! It finally has grown a leaf!!!!!! It has now been moved back to the intensive care shelf, and I will continue to neglect it with the hope it will continue to grow!!!! :D :D :D
