This plant is on the property of Green Ridge Village in Newville, Pennsylvania. The plant sprung up by itself and they have absolutely no idea what it is. Even the local newspaper published pictures of it without anybody able to come forward and identify it.
Could any hobbyists, gardeners, botanists, or herbalists identify this very remarkable plant.
It stands at least ten feet tall with leaves that are almost a yard in width. As you can see, the bark of the stem is speckled.
We are rather certain it is not a triffid.
It's an Elephant ear plant.
