Thanks for visiting my post. You asked if the caladiums are also volunteers. Yes they are! The bulbs and the corms are difficult to eradicate in our area, as even a small corm can grow when the rains come. Unwanted taro are like that and i have been devoting my few visits to pull them off, let them dry in a cement pavement.

When we lived in Spain, it was a dry heat. Here we sometimes feel like we need a snorkel when we walk out the door, or like we are walking into a sauna, and that can be early in the mornings not in the middle of the day. But that's one of the prices we have to pay for living in s.e. FL where winters are mild.<br /><br />What FlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-70704274125308666912011-07-03T11:51:06.463-04:002011-07-03T11:51:06.463-04:00You are oh so right about the heat and humidity.
