Which is this one? It is in mostly shade but if some white gets any sunlight , it burns right away. Very light sensitive , like the Stuttgart canna

That looks like Xanthosoma atrovirens 'Variegatum Monstrosum'.

Nope, it's not Mickey Mouse taro, Which I also grow. The plant in question has slightly bigger foliage
