Hi Everyone,
Hope your day is going perfectly! It is beautiful here today, sunny but not too hot. I was just walking around the 5 and 1/2 acres here and spotted this beautiful caladium in a pot sitting in back of the rental duplex. Margaret, who lives there, has some beautiful plants in pots, including this one. She is a floral designer and has quite a green thumb, as well! She and her hubby, John, are always decorating their cute apartment and adding something to their garden in front of the apartment as well as in back. She has a red leafed caladium, as well, on the other side of the back door.
This plant is a native of South America but there is a town near here that has field after field of Caladium. They even have a Caladium Festival in August. I think I enjoy Margaret's pots of Caladium more than she does, because they are in back of her apartment, easy for me to see. The green and white ones are my favorites.
Did you say "five and a half ACRES?" Is that the size of your property then? With that space available I could feed the Five Thousand! I'm just trying to calculate how many cabbages I could fit in...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty veins in the leaves; could be part of a still life setting!
ReplyDeleteYes, Mark, five and 1/2 acres! On the property there is a duplex and 2 other small rentals plus Ten Gables and Twin Gables cottages, an art studio and a garage, and a barn! Still, there is a lot of open fields to mow and all of it has to be mowed, in summer at least every five days. We have 2 mowers going at once, so it takes about five hours. That doesn't include all the trimming, etc. It is absolutely lovely, though, and I will post more photos of the property later.
ReplyDeleteTake a look at Oct. 23rd post to see some of the property.
