Dang, Im always the last to the finish line. It was just so so humid here today, I just didnt finish. Im down to the biggest size left to plant, so that will go fast, as Ive got them a spot ready. Im a little worried I put the smaller sizes to close, well I put them touching almost. They are in pots, so it cant hurt for one go around.

I used a third of my box of caladiums in these two containers. I had built a new metal arbor for my Passiflora vines and added the Florida Sweetheart caladium bulbs in the pots to add more color. It turned out so good, that I planted some more in two other containers near another arbor in my yard. Thumbs up

Thanks again, Bill! I love Caladiums!

Good job on that arbor, Becky. The Caladiums look really nice anchoring those passiflora vines. Thumbs up

I have my first caladium leaf! I can't believe I have one already. I'm so excited. I have several shoots up so I think I'll have more leaves by next week. I can't wait to compare them to the Caladiums site to see what kind they are.

Thank you, Bill, for the great customer service.

@Lalambchop1 -
Thank You for the kind words!! I tip my hat to you.

That leaf looks like it's Candidum coming up. As hot as it is they are going to be exploding out of the ground right now. Cooler night time temps are right around the corner though.. Sad
You'll be enjoying them for a while though!!!.. Hurray!

The ones I thought I planted to close together, I probably did, but boy did they make beautiful full pots. I was just out this morning taking pictures so I could remember which ones I wanted to order more of, and their heights.

The ones I had in the ground from years past are already past their prime. The ones I planted in mid August are just fabulous now.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for my box of bulbs. What a great selection and they look so good! Tomorrow I get them in the ground and enjoy them until around Thanksgiving.

Hey folks, if you are living in the WARM, don't miss this opportunity. Nice bulbs.

I think the fun part of a box of mixed bulbs is trying to ID them once they sprout.

You know, you are so right. Im just beside myself with mine, I have so much shade, they add so much this time of year. Wish I had discovered them 20 years ago when we moved in.
I have not Id'd mine yet, a good winter activity, but Ive got pictures, for just that purpose.
