This Ada plant lives up to its name - Elephant ears

By Monty Siekerman
Some plants live up to their names, as in this case - Elephant Ears.

Here, Caroline Walker sits under the shade of the tropical plant while reading a book about kindergarten at Grandpa and Grandma (Tom and Cathy) Coburn's home on Falling Timbers Blvd.

Five-year-old Caroline began kindergarten this week.

What's the secret of growing such a large elephant ears plant in Ada? Cathy said the tropical plant likes to be watered daily. She said heat and humidity, which we have had this summer, are important, as well.
