you know,where people are hungry they will eat almost anything!
I just hope mine can recover with another big leaf or 2 👿

WTF Jim???
What a dirt bag, I can't believe someone would walk into your yard and hack off a leaf 👿 👿 👿
Looks like it's time to set some traps 😉
It will grow back that really sucks though!

People can be ignorant of other peoples plants. My boss had 2 big doubel peony. She lives on a fairly busy street. She woke up one moring to find that osme one smashed her 2 planters, and cut down all of her peony...... Im lucky enough not to hav that happen yet :S...
Dont forget the bear traps... or, some hog weed 😈

All I can add is that goats leave Colocassia alone. So, goats 1, humans 0 on this one. --Erik

Someone CUT the leaf off????? 😕
Disturbing to think someone's out there at night with a knife.
Yup, time to get a dog...a BIG dog.

The bloom stalk is starting to come up and a new leaf so all is well but it has looked better.

When you get that bloom stalk, we'd like another photo.
Not to be a pest, but I'd like to see Brugmansia and Gunnera when you have a chance....

Brugs were cut down for the sake of the Siam Ruby and the Gunnera is pretty weak right now but......
is making a nice recovery thanks to the shade of the monster bananas.
I will post a pic when they are worthy of a picture.
