The broad leaves of this ornamental plant struck my eye. Each leaf is over a foot long! Quite unusual for this area. I believe this is the Common Taro, Colocasia Esculenta.

I had Elephant Ears in Georgia, will miss them! I never dug them up in the winter though but they always came back faithfully!
