    Its fine to post recommendations here Sal, we're all adults and can be responsible for our own wallets ... although a little encouragement is always welcome!

    You know me too well , I was watching Sky movie channel , thought it best I give everyone a break from me ! adult time from 6.00pm onwards.

    Sal, it was very interesting to see how much they had to offer and unusual and hard to get hold off stuff , but as you told me no Caladium in the catalogue :cry3::ccheers:
    You can add the link on here if you want

                The bulbs I got from Anglia Bulbs last Spring were good, but I found them hard to grow well, so I am not going to bother again until I have more time to devote to them ... or someone tells me the magic formula to getting them to do well (probably "A nice hot Summer" !!)

                Caladiums are difficult to keep going in the UK. I have had them in the past, without much success.
                Ideally they like warm temps and high humidiy. Neither of which can can reliably provide, except in a greenhouse of course.
