Photo of Caladiums for 2013

Marie - love the butterfly. They often remain still so we can enjoy them and photograph them. This won't be the week (in the northeast) to go running after them!

They do confuse me with the coloring so I've learned, finally, to just enjoy them as they unfurl and then sometimes change colors. Gingerland doesn't change, neither do any of the green/white combinations, but many do.

The third photo does appear to have Carolyn Whorton. I have loved Marie Mohr forever and have it growing but need to get some photos of it.

I'll write to Bill and ask about bulb maturity or maybe it's that some are more sensitive to the weather than others. In any event, I planted identical window boxes of two cultivars. One window box is thriving while the other has one lonely leaf.

"Losing it" sounds so familiar!

Merry Mary - they do remind me of Florida Fantasy!
