Cinta: I too love that arrangement! I have the Alocasia x 'Poly', white Caladiums and the Aphelandra squarrosa (which has a new inflorescence peeking out again!) I never would have thought about putting them all together but they sure make a beautiful combination! I think I'm going to have to do a combo planter with all of those. It's funny because I have two plant stands that look similar to yours too ... I will post a photo when I get them all planted!
Elaine: I LOVE those Thai Caladiums, they are so beautiful! I've never seen them for sale over this way (at big box stores or at nurseries.) I almost bought one on-line a year or so ago but didn't really want to pay the asking price at the time and I'm so bad about Caladiums, I don't dig them up ... if they re-sprout in spring great, if not I buy more.
I don't think I want to pay the price of Thai's to use as annuals.
I have a pot of the A. x Poly by the deck beneath some elephant ears and when I was pulling weeds a few days ago I think I saw some pups sprouting on the ground nearby. They may have just been babies of the Xanthosoma but I think I remember striped leaves ... I need to go check closer.
