We have to treat it like an annual, so I don't have any because I severely limit my annual purchases. But it is a great flower.<br /><br />I love all the wildlife that is showing up in your pictures.<br /><br />I believe that if you dig your caladiums after they die back in the fall, you should remove any foliage or stems from the bulbs, and knock off the extra dirt. You don't need to wash them. Then store them in a paper bag someplace dark and cool and slightly humid. You can put them in the back of your refrigerator if it isn't a frost free type. The frost free refrigerators dehumidify themselves too much for bulb storage, unless you have room in a crisper.healingmagichandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785882461027155830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443542492752722557.post-29527824305974722852009-08-15T11:21:09.207-04:002009-08-15T11:21:09.207-04:00All your photos are superb.
As to Caladiums, I u...All your photos are superb. <br /><br />As to Caladiums, I used to dig mine and store them in an old Coleman cooler in layers of newspaper. They did quite well, until I got the notion that at least some of them will come back here close to Florida. Now they're live and let die and some come back. They would be much better, dug and stored. <br /><br />The real trick is to wait until June to plant caladiums out, when the soil is truly warm. I experimented with starting some in pots. They did no better than the ones in soil, waiting for that trigger that only they know.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443542492752722557.post-36172316474728628562009-08-15T08:48:53.963-04:002009-08-15T08:48:53.963-04:00Hi Alan, great shot of the hummingbird on the hone...Hi Alan, great shot of the hummingbird on the honeysuckle!Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443542492752722557.post-41811494780206983302009-08-15T07:17:50.683-04:002009-08-15T07:17:50.683-04:00I guess no one around here has had to pull out the...I guess no one around here has had to pull out the hoses recently.
