Caladiums

There was a period of time that I was going crazy with Caladiums.
And feeling very positive about it that they will endure very well in my garden.
I realised that this one came with a vengeance.
Half of which either gone dormant or dead.
That is the thing with Caladiums - they are so unpredictable.
Something that gives much greater a challenge to look forward to.

When they do appear - they come with Glory.
Caladiums are temperamental plants - now you see it and now you don't.
And because of that - you can't really put all of them in one basket
(I'm mean pot)
When they go dormant - you got one pot empty.

Some Caladiums never go dormant.
The Jewel Caladiums seemed to go strong with me for a year now.
One thing for sure.
If you take care well of them - they do their best in your garden.

Basic requirements:

1) Fast Draining medium.
2) Kept in Bright shade.

Random Colours in the Garden

It would definitely out the context to give a specific detail concerning one singular species.
Especially when it comes to Vertical Gardening.
As these are very much appear to be like a community plants,
staying and coping together in harmony.

The colours indeed makes a great difference in the blending.
These Jacob's Coat somehow have a nice patches that fits well in my concept.

The sun was shining brightly filtering through the leaves giving a lovely contrast.
One thing for sure.
I'm actually running out of words to describe all these beauties.
This time - I let the pictures do the talking.
