Cheryl, I forgot to say what a gorgeous flower border that is in your picture above! Lovely combo of colors and leaf shapes. The loquat looks like it might be struggling a bit . . EEs are getting all the water, huh?

One more Caladium, if you can stand it! This one - Scarlet O'Hara - and Gingerland are the ones I ordered from Caladiums4Less this spring. Bulbs were the size of a plum. This pot has 3 bulbs in a 12in. pot. I don't think your DH will need 60 of them.

Elaine, that is the 3rd tree in that area. This is our last attempt as everything there struggles for water. I can't blame the EE's. Behind the fence is the forest. It is full of water sucking trees. I can't complain, they give us the nice shade. But our own ornamental trees suffer. Watered daily this time of year, isn't enough. Tonight I will put a drip hose at the tree base and let it drip all night. That will help, But which trees will benefit from it is the question. The one's in the forest or the new little Loquat?? It's a competition and I only get to sit, watch, and pay the water bill.

We NEED 60 blubs...Did I ever tell you DH always does things in a BIG way?? Rolling on the floor laughing
