We used elephant ear leaves, so they are actually larger than rhubarb 
leaves.  They can get up to 3 or even 4 feet long, but we chose ones 
that were a bit under 2 feet.  I had a blast...great fun.  It turned 
into a plant swap, too.  I got some 4 o'clocks, some Wandering Jew, 
Jerusalem cherries, etc.  Time will tell how well out castings turned out..
Now, we are all talking about making stepping stones.  I can't wait.

HOUSTON — Officials from Galveston will ask Congress for about $2.2  
billion in disaster relief this week to repair the battered island’s  
port, save a major research hospital from going under and rebuild the  
city’s infrastructure.

I am certain that I am one of many who are tired of paying to fix the  
things of those who insist on living where Nature wreaks havoc on a  
predictable basis. Live in a dangerous place, fine. Be responsible for  
the results.
