This year I tried other things and don't like how they look at all. Caladiums are best here because I can look through them from the kitchen. Like a stained glass window.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-45463416311042550752008-07-27T23:14:00.000-04:002008-07-27T23:14:00.000-04:00Thank you,Karen.I love the way the light can chang...Thank you,<STRONG>Karen</STRONG>.I love the way the light can change in a moment and give the garden a new and different appearance.<BR/><BR/>I've actually done that, <STRONG>wiseacre</STRONG>...

They simply glow. They remind me of stained glass windows. <BR/><BR/>I'm rethinking overwintering mine. Last year's caladiums came back so small it didn't seem worth overwintering them again. But after a couple doses of organic fertilizer the new foliage on last year's caladiums is now emerging larger and more showy. <BR/><BR/>I don't know garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-63115577737830538252008-07-27T20:09:00.000-04:002008-07-27T20:09:00.000-04:00The Light Shines Through...love your title.

I love caladiums! I found some bulbs on sale early mid season and put thrm into containers with other plants, then promptly forgot about them. When they showed up I was pleasantly surprised. We used to go to a Caladium farm near Lake Placid when we went to Florida, and I always brought bulbs back. Your are such pretty colors.
