My favorite caladium. Jerry
Nice Jerry , I think your favorite caladium just became my favorite.
How can anybody not like it with a name like " Florida Beauty " Jerry
BEAUTIFUL!!!
I never have tried caladiums before....but I did pre-order some lol.
They are nice...these knock my socks off. :O)
Kimarj, Calaiums are sooooo easy to grow just plant them then the ground warms up. Dig them up and let them dry out and store them like sweet potatos in fall before first freeze. Jerry
Woo hoo!! that sounds great...thanks for the info.
Kim

A CHRISTMAS present from my" White Bird of Paradise."
What a nice gift !! How long did that take? I just realized that I have had one for two years :~)....
had no clue!! got seven big leaves and one unfurling...maybeI could havea bloom in 2017..LOL
Kim
Kimarj, KIM I got my mother plant at Homedepot in '02. It started to bloom in '05 and '06 '07. but only in december go figure? On a sadder note, my mother plant died this winter i guess it's because i've had to cut it back to fit into my greenhouse every year. Last sumer it was 16ft. tall. My gh. is 12ft. tall. The picture is of her baby's first bloom,have 4 more babys around her. Some are needing to be cut back now. Good Luck with yours. Jerry
Jerry I don't think i will be seeing any blooms... ha ha ha... mines is a,house plant. Sorry about the mommy plant glad she made babies!! Wow 16ft... my DH would draw up papers to have me committed. :*)
KIM, They still make great house plants. You should try some " ORANGE BIRD of PARADISE " they make good house plants and they should bloom if kept pot bound and if kept in a sunny place. They only get about 4ft. tall. Mine have been in the same pot for 10 years now. They have bloomed for 8yrs. now. Jerry
