Paula, that variegated one is stunning! Thanks for reminding me to go check on my hydrangeas. Every year I think they're dead, and they come back nicely every spring, then suffer from fungus and powdery mildew all summer . . . I should give up, but . . they are so pretty when they bloom. Then they're so ugly all summer I hide the pots.

Shooting star hydrangea
Caladium 'Scarlet O'Hara' is a new one for me. (I'm thinking it looks like a cartoon plant)
Brug. 'Charles Grimaldi' just started from a cutting last fall, already blooming!
Caladium 'Gingerland' is putting up delicate pink flowers.
Begonia 'Odorata alba' smells lovely in the mornings, and is getting way out of control.
