I plant these beauties every year from bulbs and impatiently wait for them to grow into this amazing display that you see above....these are planted in a large raised flower bed in our backyard. God's hand definitely painted these with a special touch!
I had to plant these from brand new bulbs this year. Usually, the bulbs I plant are mostly from the year before (sometimes a couple of years before) because I always dig up and store my bulbs for replanting. Unfortunately, last year my husband stored them while they were still damp and when it was time to take them from storage and plant them, all I found was a gooey, ugly mess of rotting yuck. I was so upset I actually cried because almost every one of them was a jumbo caladium bulb that I painstakingly handpicked from masses of them at the nursery; I couldn't even bring myself to plant ANY last year. But I got over it and this year their magnificence once again graces our landscape.
