These devices, which can be standalone switches or integrated into a blade on an enterprise class switch, are useful for the management and control of WLAN access points. Although their deployment is a relatively new phenomenon, such control and configuration functions have existed before in WLAN controller devices.
Elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum) is the source of much confusion and the issue of elephant vs normal size garlic is one with a counter-intuitive outcome.

Araceae. Elephant's ears are large, evergreen perennials from damp sites in south and southeast Asia. They are grown for their big, veined, arrow-or heart-shaped leaves, which may be marked with black, dark purple, or bronze. The flowers are fairly insignificant. These rhizomatous or tuberous-rooted plants have a striking presence in the shady garden or large containers, or in a warm greenhouse or as a houseplant. Some species can reach over 15 feet tall. The tubers can be lifted and stored over winter.
