Here is a pic of one of the newest Caladiums out of Thailand. I know it doesn't look real, but it is! I have it and of course I'll breed with it, but I'd love to know what they crossed to come up with this. Caladiums, at least the "American" versions, are not shiny like this. Plus, the leaf substance is thicker than the Caladiums we are used to, almost more like a Colocasia, and the individual plant holds more leaves than the familiar types of Caladiums. This is one of the wonders to see at the Big Ear Fest in Spring 2008
