Not that long ago I ordered a large box of caladium bulbs. I planted them out under an oak in the front where my wife wanted a little color. I had no way of knowing what the leaves would end up being other than Bill told me he would put the 'Red Flash' in one corner. Well naturally during shipment they were moved about so I had to just do the best I could to plant them and interspace them with the other bulbs. I planted some of the bulbs in the back also, and I gave my daughter a whole box full of smaller bulbs out of the large box. The bed sill needs a lot of work, removing rock and adding mulch, etc.
Anyhow I am so pleased with how the caladiums themselves have done, here are some photos of the ones in the front bed under the oak.
I'll throw in a few daylily photos from today also:
The goldenrod in the field back of me is just now starting to bloom:
I am still getting Amaryllis blooms and they started way back in the early spring.
I have added so much organic material to my beds I am greeted by these a lot of mornings.
Here is the latest shot of my little seedling cup beds. I have two of them full and hope to finish filling the last one by the end of the month.
