Caladium question--Mine are in full shade under a norway maple and a silver maple. They are leaning out. Does that mean they want more light? I was afraid of burning them.

All pretty. Holly the latest doesn't look just put together, looks gorwn in and nice too. And there's an interesting short succulent thing to the right there....

orchid-- those are pretty too. Blood lily looks more like an Onion type thing, that would not naturally splt its own bulb much. I might try to collect seed and plant them promptly. I've read onion seed doesn't last well in storage.

My few containers aren't that great so I haven't taken pictures of them. Well, OK, here is a pot with basil and coleus. Having beetles eat the total heck out of the basil 'kind of ' ruined the look. Since putting the onion bag over one basil, its growing new leaves so I think beetles and not slugs as the enemy there.
