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.

good for summer but not true linen
Size: 12, Color: White, Size: 12, Color: White
Took off a star because they aren't linen! They are polyester with some linen and have a slight look of linen. They are thin and see through, so in that aspect its great for summer, but the lining inside the suit would get hot. It is a very nice neutral color that looks sleek. It is worth its price given it is a 3 piece. Needs ironing after arrival, and it is great for recitals and formal weddings and events. Comfortable, lined well, even the pockets are lined! Speaking of which, my son carries his phone and needs pockets at all times. Zipper and buttons work well. Sizing is accurate. There are loops for belt. The bow tie is brught white with 2 silver tiny polka dots! Bow tie is adjustable and easily clips on. Overall recommend it!

Great suit!
Size: 8, Color: Mint Green, Size: 8, Color: Mint Green
This suit is gorgeous. The color is gorgeous The fit is great. I like pretty much everything about it. I even like the clasp in the bow tie. Way better than the snaps or the hooks… And my son likes it! After telling me he felt embarrassed to wear a suit like two weeks ago, he was actually really liking this one and was trying to think of somewhere he could wear it! *please ignore the straight-out-of-the-package rumpling in the pictures* The fabric is nice. It’s really well made. It still fits a teeny smidge big on my son, but he’ll be in it in no time. It’s a great value. I recommend it.

THESE ARE NOT LINEN - 70%Polyester, 25% Linen, 5% Spandex
Size: 5, Color: Light Grey
Moms be ware this is NOT LINEN! This is 70% Polyester and 25% linen and 5% spandex, so the listing description and material details are misleading. If you're expecting the super soft, lightweight, breathable linen fabric we know and love , this is not it. This is reminicent of those old school curtains. The suit is cute however; but what boys suit isn't cute for that matter? I would say these run a little big. My son who is 5 normally fits a bit snug in a 5 but the length of a 6 is too long. I ordered a 5 and these are long on him, but the suit jacket fits perfectly. They do seem to be sewn well and constructed with quality in mind. I'm just disappointed by the misleading linen claim
