Elephant Ears Midnight, one of the darkest elephant ear variety yet developed. Leaves are smoky black and velvety in appearance and stems are also dark. Similar to Black Magic, its leaves start out dark purple / green and morph into a deep dark purple black as the plant matures. Plant and leaves are also larger than Black Magic and stems are darker too, having a burgundy wine coloration.
see leaves and deep red stems in first 5 pics.  The 6th photo shows plant with yard stick similar to plant you will receive.

More differences of Midnight, see 7th pic is it readily produces runners on which new plants will develop not just new plants along side of mature plant. Aka Black Runner in some areas, so if put in ground give plenty of space. The 8th pic shows deep red stems of Midnight, Black Magic stem is green covered in red spots and reddish at end. The 9th pics shows underside of leaf, Midnight has deep red stem and veins through the leaf, Black Magic has lesser. Last two show young small leaf is darker where Black Magic will be green and underside red veins even as new leaf.  See pics in Black Magic listing.

Midnight is a so called runner type and there are green forms too. So yes I have seen Midnight called Black Runner and Black Marble called Midnight and Black Magic called Midnight and more. It gets confusing. This happens a lot when people in different areas use different names for same plant. Sometimes same name is used for different plants of same type or even of complete different genus. I believe there are photos out there of what is C. Marble or C. Black Marble being labeled as Midnight. The photos show a part dark and part green leaf, a marble effect. Similar to Mojito but less spots. Midnight by definition refers to total darkness, totally black. Not dark spots on grey green leaf. You do not name your Pet Midnight if it is spotted, stripped, not all black haired.

In research I found follow articles I used to support my wholesale purchase of type of plant. See; 

( http://elephantearsplants.com/elephantearsmidnight.htm )        ( https://www.agristarts.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/plants.plantDetail/plant_ID/23/index.htm ) and regarding Black marble

( https://www.plantdelights.com/products/colocasia-esculenta-black-marble ) (  https://www.floridaaquatic.com/pond-plant-blank-h9emk )

Photos that look like Black Marble labeled as ( Midnight ) I believe are in error. Black Marble may also be known as Midnight Luxury variegated ori. But should not be labeled just as Midnight. 


Midnight is also a dwarf elephant ear plant that reaches up to around 3 feet tall not the 6 - 10 foot type. Great for ponds or marshy bogs and prefers bright filtered light, sun with some shade.

You will receive a single rooted plant similar to the one pictured with yard stick, not actual plant. 
Listing is for single rooted plant around 20" to 2 feet height. Plant you will receive will be trimmed for shipping. Plant will be sent in wrapped root ball and largest top leaves will be cut for shipping purposes so plant height when sent will be between 15 - 20" and ready to pot or place in ground.

I loved this book!!
Format: Kindle
I have a love/ hate relationship with Albertalli. I really liked Simon VS The Homo Sapiens Agenda and The Upside of Unrequited with their adorable characters and charming/ hilarious/ sometimes heartbreaking plots. I soared through these books and would recommend them to anyone- especially John Green fans. Then there was Leah On the Off Beat, which mostly angered me. I didn’t like her, or the way she acted toward her friends, how the love interest played itself out…. the book just pissed me off most of the time, with just barely enough good to keep me moving forward. What If It’s Us Brings out the best of this author- maybe due to the collab? The characters are purely magical even as they are each incredibly messy and neurotic in their own ways. I think it’s their imperfections that made them so fabulous. The premise was fantastic, the play between characters was perfect, and you saw a lot of character growth which is always a plus for me. My favorite character was definitely Dylan, the over the top best friend. I felt like he was the perfect foil for Ben. For me, this was the best book of the author’s to date. I loved it! My only objection, and it’s purely personal, I felt like the ending was too open. I want closure! And I want it to be EPIC. Still, five stars all the way. On the adult content scale, there’s some language, drinking, sexual innuendo and light sexual content. It’s not too crazy, and I would still give this one to a youngish teen. I give it a three.

A very fluffy read.
Format: Hardcover
3.5* This story is told from alternating perspectives, Arthur (who had ADHD) and Ben (who is Puerto Rican). Arthur is spending the summer in New York as an intern for his mother's law firm when he follows a very handsome boy (Ben) into the post office. Ben is trying to mail a box full of his ex-boyfriends stuff when he meets Arthur. Ben gets Arthur's name but Arthur doesn't get Ben's name and so when a flash mob breaks out at the post office, they get separated. The first 150 pages of this book is how Ben and Arthur are trying to find each other in the big city. So this book was a bit slow to start. But when they do finally meet up this dosen't become an instalove kind of thing. They do ease into. Being a collaborative effort between Becky Abertalli and Adam Silvera, I wasn't sure if this was going to rip my heart out or give me warm fuzzies, but truthfully it was a great blend of both. It had a lot of bittersweet moments mixed with moments that were just sweet. Having read a few other books by these authors, I was sorry to see that this didn't feel like it had the same kind of depth that "Simon Versus the Homosapian Agenda" and "They Both Die At the End" had. I felt like those two books had a lot more depth to them and a bit more deep emotionality and not just a ton of surface level fluffiness. The vast majority of "What If It's Us" was a lot of surface level fluffiness and I did not find myself loving this as much as the other two previously mention books I read by them. Overall this book was cute and enjoyable, but the characters felt a bit flat to me.

Good classic gift!
Second time purchasing as a gift; loved it since I was a child. I always loved mice. This author always did cute artwork and stories. I enjoy them and enjoy sharing them with kids.
