Thanks, Ursula. I don't think these have been released yet. Lake Placid, FL, is the caladium capital of the world and we go every year just to see what's new.
I didn't make it this year but Harriet covered for me.

Thanks, Kathy. I've never seen another "Curly-Q" but I know they're out there. I introduced it to DG Plant Files.

Love those caladiums! I keep planting them, but few come back the following year. I'm guessing that is a Guava, rather than a Pom. How big does the fruit get?

Kind of off subject...this is how I entertain myself. This little bird entertained me for 30 min. today. A warbler of some kind , I think...taken from my porch....Thumb of 2010-09-02/ctcarol/9c9c97

No, Carol, it is a dwarf Pommegranate. The red flowers are lovely all year round.

My autumn clematis is in bloom. Got one of these as a trade on DG 2 years ago. Look how happy it is on the stone wall! And it smells lemony!

Between Jim of The South and Kathy of The North we are given a great show here, thanks folks.

Love the color of your Pitcher plant Carol and I guess the little bird likes your pool.

Is it Time for Part 5?
