That is a beautiful caladium for sure, and a perfect capture of it for a banner!

These pics are making me want to try them in a shady spot in front if the hydrangea I moved there doesn't look decent. They are very pretty and colorful.

I bought the tubers from Caladium World
https://www.caladiumworld.com/...

Here's a good article on care
https://www.gardendesign.com/p...

I haven't had success with them going dormant & re-growing in the
same pot....they decayed even though I let them go dry.
I also tried lifting them earlier when they still had top growth but it was obviously
dying back, and did get some tubers, but they weren't robust as when I planted them.

But I will buy them every year if I have to.....they are just so pretty inside
in the livingroom, or outside by the couch. Thumbs up
