Just as a curiosity the other day I came upon a very strange elephant bush that catched my eye, I've seen a lot of Portulacarias but never one like that, as you can see its pretty much a giant with big leaves (double the size of a regular one) and also very tall and vigorous (well over 2 meter 8ft) in the left you can see a regular one,

I did some research and found its the cultivar Macrophylla (macro big phylla leaves)

I'll bet you don't have any elephants in the neighborhood. Hint, hint...

That is very cool. At first I thought not portulacaria, but found that the LeafSnap app agrees with you. I love the more natural looking leaves.
