I believe it is a giant phildedron. I looked it up on the internet and that is what it looks like. I bought this plant in south Florida while I was on vacation there. It was growing there in yards and it was just beautiful. I also know that people where I live (Georgia) grow it as house plants and in their Georgia rooms. I would rather have plants that grow in my region 7/8 that I can put in my outside garden. I would love to have a giant elephant ear or you entice me.
