I’m struggling to figure out the specific varieties of my two elephant ears. Please help! Both purchased from Walmart recently if that happens to help. Thanks so much!

I think the first one is Alocasia Bambino, but it’s hard to tell because there are a couple that look similar

Second one is Alocasia mortfontanensis

I think you may be right about the bambino, although it looks like so many others. However, when I search “mortfontanensis” I get like 4-5 results. What’s the “nick name”?

Looks like the scientific name for bambino would be Alocasia amazonica
