J.Plunket, thanks for showing us your tropical combination. It reminded me that I want to replace all of my caladiums with alocasia Hilo beauties this year. The caladiums are very pretty, but they usually fizzle out in sept. or Oct. and then you are left with bare spots in the garden.

LouC, when are you going to show us your new Tropical area? I read about all the nice plants RJ brought you last week. They should have perked up nicely now after the rain .
My plants are being stressed-out right now with all the sun that they are gettinng. I had to cut down a 20 ft. live oak that was shading them last year.

DdeTex, the BOP has been in the same pot for about 8 yrs. now, so I am sure it is root bound. It blooms sporadically all summer with a big flush of blooms late in the fall.
