Yes, recent pictures, just taken today.
Oh I was so careful with them, not!!! Just dug them up cut off the top and knocked some of the mud off them. Stored them under my seed starting table in an upstairs room. Two of them were in brown paper bags one just laying in a big plastic pot and one laying open on top of a trashcan lid as it was too big to do much with. I store my caladium bulbs in brown paper bags, and my cannas just laid out on plastic trays. Come spring they all just start growing.
Here are some pics of my caladiums.

The Hibs are new this summer. I have overwintered them before but it has been a long time since I had one. I always have trouble with spider mites and other pests when I overwinter the tropicals.
Life is Great! Holly
