I don't agree with this statement. I've been accused of cheating in my 1st real relationship despite he & I being together 24/7. And, if we couldn't be together, his mother or sister were there. He clearly had insecurity issues and thankfully I was young enough to get away and have been in an amazing marriage for 37 years. My question is, and it may be overthinking: is she inferring that Patrick has cheated & is maybe projecting?

Thanks!

I just got back to the Treasure Coast from a 2 week vacation with family in St. Pete and this girl amazed me once again.

I got her the beginning of last year when they cleared the lot next door to me (they do it every few years). The man who cleared it noticed my alocasia & orchid collection on my lanai and rang my bell to tell me about the Giant Elephant Ear. He found 2 that were over 4 feet already on the lot & dug them both up - he took one & the other sat in a 5 gallon bucket of water on my lanai for weeks- I just wasn't prepared for something so big. I finally got her into a pot months later (we're building on acreage & I wanted to bring her with minimal disruption) and she would produce maybe 1 stem every month.

Then we were hit with a frost while I was away the beginning of this year and I thought for sure I'd come home to her dead. Nope. She actually started thriving. She now produces consistently and her largest leaves currently measure at 36".

Returned home a few days ago and found her pup in the pot. I'm just happy she's happy.

Dog in photos is a dwarf Havanese, if that helps show her size!

We are staying in St. Pete for a couple of weeks and this plant is at the house. I live in SoFlo on the east coast and have a pretty nice tropical garden & lanai but I am in no way an expert. I went to my 2 trusty "plant identifiers" and they both came back as something different. So, now no one can enjoy the beautiful weather with the gorgeous lanai & huge pool bc these two 60+ year old men are in a crash out. Is this a >!white bird of paradise,!< a >!banana tree!< or >!something else!<?

Spoiler text added bc i was hoping to not influence anyone but understand you need the 2 different plants they are arguing over. Bonus points if it IS the first one bc that will send know-it-all BIL over the edge. Even more bonus points is it's neither & I get to tell these two stunads they're both wrong. Either way, help an aroid girlie out bc I want this beauty in my yard!
