Caladiums in the sun?

I do a lot of garden by Trial and Error. I have had potted Caladium in the past and enjoyed the beautiful colors of the heart shaped leaves. I decided to give them a try this year growing them from roots up!

I showed you my and Lola's Canna beds a while back so today I will show you the Caladuim that I planted along with my Canna. They took much longer then I anticipated in popping up but in time, they made their appearance.

By this time I had realized I had made a mistake. This bed is located in full sun and that is fine for the Cannas but oh shoot, if only I had read the tag more clearly. Oops, the Caladuims like shade to part shade. Oh well, we will see what happens now as I am NOT going to move them. Trail and Error in course...

Well, just look at those Caladiums growing in the sun shine! My little friend Peter Cottontail has joined me in the garden since Spring. He lets me get close to him showing little fear of me. I have not seen him in a while. Hummm, I wonder where he has been? Here you see him helping me check in on the progress of the Caladiums.

As you can see, the plants produced these interesting pods. I was not sure what to think of them but kept my eye on them to see what would unfold.

Well, just lookie here, A Caladium bloom! I did not know they bloomed...

She was a bit strange looking but a little beauty indeed!

Caladiums are also known as Angel Wings, Heart of Jesus and Elephant Ears. I like the way the sun shines through the pretty red and green leaves.

They glow with the spot light of the sun showing their vibrant colors.

I found the Dew Drop on the leaves a thing of beauty while on a morning stroll.

I really am pleased with the way the Cannas stand tall behind the Caladiums. In time, this planter will become larger with more additions. The Saint was not too happy back in spring with me starting this new planter. Now he is enjoying the beauty with me although I am still waiting for him to admit I was right in creating this planter.

I usually take plant tags more seriously then I did this one but as you can see, even though the tag read: Plant in Shade to Part Shade, CALADIUMS IN THE SUN, may do well In the Garden...
