Bulbs: Caladium question..., 1 by SherryLike

These two pots of caladiums were planted on the same day, pots & potting soil, etc, identical, and sat right by each other.

1) the caladium on the left was ordered from a nursery in Louisiana and the cost was $32.00, almost $33, for eight of the smallest bulbs I've ever seen in my life and, frankly, I'm amazed that they are as large as they are.

2) the white caladiums on the right were purchased as dwarfs and their name ends with Jr, I've forgotten the first part of the name. There are two bulbs in the pot, and to think, I almost planted three. Is it common for dwarf caladiums to grow this large, or do you think they might have sent the wrong bulbs? The price of these bulbs was something like $18.00 for 25 and the bulbs were huge.

My question is this: Should I contact the nursery that sold me the tiny, pricey bulbs, and tell them how disappointed I am with the bulbs??? Obviously, there is a big difference in the price and quality and I would like to know what other gardners think. TIA!!! SherryLike
