You just have to Love Mid April...I look in my garden and suddenly everything is exploding, blooming or growing- Plumbago, Bouganvillia, Bird of Paradise, Indian Hawthorn, Coco-Plum, Firecraker plants, Elephant Ears. Love them all!

I spent yesterday and today planting 200 Caladium bulbs in my front entry - Whew that was a workout for the old bones. However, if they come up as they should...it's going to be a spectacular display...If not, I'll have a stick garden, as I marked them with bamboo skewers, just so I knew where I planted them! hehe.

I Love Caladiums. The ones I planted last year are coming up again amazingly and multiplying. They're one of those good old stand-by's when you want color in the summer when everything else has kind of expired.
