Tarev, I think about all the plants that grew in my yard in Hawaii that I took for granted. I was too busy with other interests then.
Cheryl, those pots were the second group of caladiums I ordered from Bill. When DH wound up in hospital, I left the box on the patio for a very long time. Finally decided I was going to lose them all, so I just stuck them in pots, watered them and they were on their own. They were gorgeous. I usually buy one type for border and another for baskets. Ordering those mixed ones later in the season gave me a chance to see caladiums I wouldn't have thought to order before. And....I could move the pots around if they were in too much sun or not getting hit by the sprinklers.
And, Elaine....I , myself , don't want to be in the kitchen any longer than I have to.
