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.

An Effective Sunscreen With Some Drawbacks
I like the safety and effectiveness of Thinksport tinted sunscreen. It's formulated carefully and I found it quite effective; I appreciate that it's not tested on animals. It is easy to apply and blends in with no chalky or white residue and doesn't come off easily (in fact washing it off later is not especially easy). I very much appreciated its effectiveness as I didn't ever burn when using this tube. With all that in mind why did I give it only three stars and throw away the tube before I even used half of it? Two reasons: I frequently run while wearing sunscreen and that, obviously, leads to sweating. When you sweat with this anything that you touch with a treated surface will be smeared with the brown tint of the sunscreen (particularly your shirt when your face, neck, or arms contact it, which may be more than you think). This looks akin to pancake makeup on clothes. It washed out of the shirts I got it on, but they did seem to get dingier after multiple cycles (especially around the collar). The second reason I didn't like this sunscreen is that when applied to the forehead and then perspiring this product really stung my eyes. I have had that product with some other brands as well, so it's definitely not a Thinksport exclusive issue, but still it's annoying. I used almost half the tube then switched back to my normal brand, which while also not ideal in some ways, doesn't have these issues. I have not given up on the Thinksport brand entirely, as I have recently purchased some of their untinted sunscreen. I have only used it a few times, but initial impressions are good. If you are unconcerned about the issues of staining from this product or you don't plan to wear it while doing anything strenuous, the tinted Thinksport sunscreen product may work great for you: it's easy to apply and quite effective.

Have to protect our skin! This works
My daughter in law recommended this. It is light weight but gives good Sun protection. The color tint is perfect. Easy to add to the morning skin routine

Former celeb makeup artist thinks this is THE best!
Color: Soft Brown, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I was a pretty successful makeup artist based in NY for many years. I am OBSESSED with eyebrows because even a few millimeters and a different angle can affect the way the entire face looks. Most importantly-I started drawing my eyebrows on in the 1970’s at AGE 12 because I was tired of people asking me “why I plucked my eyebrows” at age 12. I hardly ever had any-so from a very young age I drew them on. Now I am 58-and nothing is more aging than a face with no eyebrows. I won’t even walk my dogs without drawing them on-lol! I am as obsessed with product quality as I was when working my career and at the top of my game, so I try EVERYTHING. I also put my brows on first thing in the morning and do not want them to move or wear off under any conditions-so these relatively new extreme wear products are genius. I have tried ALL the eyebrow “pens” and this is the best. I have almost zero natural brows now, so I draw on each hair with the fine tip (microblade style) in the shape I want. I use two shades, a lighter and a darker because it creates the most real looking optical illusion on my face. I do not have to blend-but a spoolie type thing is attached to the lid if needed. This is the only brand that stays on, never smudges when I work out and even stays on through the night if I wear no makeup and wash my face with a non oil cleanser lightly. (I usually use a cleansing oil and that is the best way to remove this product as well) You can also remove this brow pen with an oil based eye makeup remover (Garnier-but even then it resists removal-genius!) There are about 4 or 5 brow products I think are good enough (out of the 50 plus I have tried in my career) and due to ease of application, shades, fine tip and longest wear-this is holy grail for me.

Good product
Color: Soft Brown, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I do not buy Cover Girl products, but took a chance on this. I am happy I did. This is a nice eyebrow pencil, for a drugstore brand. It does not have the Cover Girl smell. The color was fine for me. It most certainly does not last 24 hours though. I've no idea why the company is allowed to use that in the name.
