What elephant ear are these ladies?!?

Got these lovely bulbs with a green and white leaf on the label. They are nothing like what was pictured. I absolutely love them, but what in the world are they?!?

She just keeps growing!

My Alocasia that I thought was dying has turnd around and is multiplying leaves like crazy! At what point does it get too big? Should I take the babies out and separate them?

Is this ready to be repotted?

I got this one from Etsy and it’s grown pretty well so far in the Texas summer. When taking one of the pups off and replanting, is it similar to a banana plant cutting the pup off the corm?

Mislabeled or Mutation?

My local nursery was selling Colocasia esculenta 'Hawaiian Punch' from EZ Pond last week and I noticed one that looked quite different from the rest.

I'm hoping someone with more experience can help identify if this is a known variety and was mislabeled or if it may be a mutation since I have not had luck narrowing it down.

Photos 1-5 are the existing leaves of the plant I bought Photo 6 shows one or two other plants with similar variegation Photo 7 is another shot of the grouping of plants together

The 10+ plants being sold as Hawaiian Punch all had the red stems, veins, and leaf edges as that variety. One or two others in the group also demonstrated this variegation, but to a smaller degree. None of the other leaves contained the pink color of the plant I purchased.
