I understand that the taxonomists have reclassified the lindenii as a Caladium, but how they can do so without detailed study of a bloom is difficult to understand. I've never seen lindenii bloom; they way the plant grows is not like other Caladiums, either. That one, and the so-called "Alocasia" Hilo Beauty is another one that is not what they say it is. I have an idea about what that one is, but the Hilo Beauty is the one most likely to be a Xanthosoma, IMHO. I've never seen a bloom on it, either.
