Drought Tests Elephant Ears

We are in the grip of a pretty serious drought with only a little over 1 inch of rain in the past 45 days. This picture shows the Elephant Ears in the center of the yard looking pretty sad. We've been watering but it is hard to keep up with the lack of help from Mother Nature. But Mother Nature is interesting in so many ways because the next photo is a beautiful Spadix flower on the same bunch of Elephant Ears the same day. We have had many Spadix flowers on the Black Magic Elephant Ears but this is the first on the Giant Elephant Ears. A dramatic flower if I ever did see one.
