Giant Caladiums

[ Edited ]

Does anyone have in their garden or have you seen these plants?  They are quite spectacular and would certainly be the talk of any neighborhood.

 

*****I've added a couple more.

 

I ran across instructions for growing them on Facebook.

Holy smokes! Those are more than spectacular. I've never seen anything like them. Going to guess they don't grow in the Midwest. @Kachina624

@SaveTheTurtles.  They look like a Florida thing, don't they?

 

I've grown Caladiums but they never looked like those for sure.

OH MY GOODNESS ! I have never seen plants that huge anywhere ! I can certainly see why they would be the talk of the neighborhood.  The neighbors would get lost in them Woman Surprised They are beautiful

@Kachina624 I agree, they are tropical looking for sure. I just consulted google and it says they like heat and humidity. Sounds like Florida!

@ I live in Florida and there is nothing I have seen even close to these. Sorry, but I think this is AI stuff and not real.

@Goodie2shoes.  No, I just have a feeling they're not suited for the desert, plus I have no place for such a plant.
