I have recently moved to Modesto California and this plant is in the yard.  I have been told it was an elephant ear, but I don't think it is.  Any help would be very much appreciated.   ]]> http://www.finegardening.com/item/27335/i-have-been-told-its-an-elephant-ear Sat, 18 May 2013 12:33:12 -0500 http://www.finegardening.com/item/27906/volunteer-or-a-weed http://www.finegardening.com/item/27906/volunteer-or-a-weed Posted by Maplewood50
