Re: Please don\'t make fun of me. . .

Norris (gotrocks) nailed it. They are called elephant ears and grow from a bulb that varies in size from about tennis ball to about football sized. In Japan they grow a very similar plant and harvest the bulbs to eat; kinda like we eat potatoes. These plants love wet soil. I don't think it's possible to overwater them. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I was leavin' for work and Kathy wanted something B-I-G beside the elephant ears for comparison. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Did you notice how I color-coordinated my tie? ...always a fashion show here in the boonies of Texas. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

You guys are having entirely too much fun at my expense. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

...but that's exactly what I expected. At least you didn't put any earrings in 'em. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Jim, a secrete admirer of yours (A.K.A. the instigator) suggested the attached anchor earrings. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Well...
As long as it's a nautical theme, I guess I won't hold it against the "instigator." /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

That's funny, the green ears that is. He does clean up pretty good too. You'd almost have to catch me dead to look like that.
