Here is another example of the new Thai Caladiums. There are quite a few more and each one is unique in ways that familiar Caladiums are not, although a few of them have similarities to ours. Most of them have heavier substance to the leaves and a few, to be sure, seem like polyploid versions of our Caladiums, but with colors that for the life of me I can't imagine what parent(s) they came from! I do have an idea about what one of the parents of this one is (Caladium rubicundrum), but they must have a fertile version of that plant because the one I had produced no pollen.
