I've been crazy busy with a job search so I haven't blogged much...your invitation to come on over was sooo timely!! <br /><br />I can see why the nursery is called Happiness Farms...I'd be happy too, surrounded by all those fabulous colors and varieties! <br /><br />So, I have to choose a fave...it's definitely difficult...but I fell in love with the Florida Sweetheart. Gorgeous!! The deep color is brilliant!<br /><br />Of course, I can't leave out my second fave...Mrs. W B Halderman. It reminds me of a watermelon...I love it!!! <br /><br />I have several stands of saw palmetto in my new landscape. I think the caladiums would really shine underneath them...the green tropical foliage of the palmettos would be the perfect backdrop for the cheerful caladiums.<br /><br />Wonderful and very generous giveaway!

I have a mass planting of cannas in my yard with full sun to semi-shade that needs a nice transitional border. <br /><br />I think the Fire Chief variety would look outstanding as a good second story mass planting against the deep green of the cannas. <br /><br />It may be a more different way to go than with the typical shade plantings, but for my yard I think it would be quite striking.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03145205138018522611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23029816.post-63330063559184538012011-03-23T09:57:27.260-07:002011-03-23T09:57:27.260-07:00What a wonderful contest!

I am in the process of planning a Moon Garden in memory of my god daughters baby girl who died at the age of three.

My favor...Thanks, Susan and Happiness Farms inc!!!<br /><br />My favorite is Miss Muffet. Its chartreuse color with red dots are so unique and will look beautiful as bed border. Especially it can tolerate the sun, I think it coulf virtually go anywhere, and I will put them into the flower beds that I plan to open soon. <br /><br />My second most favorite would be white queen. I love the cream white, and the dark red vein, with tough of green. It is tall and can be the middle layer of the flower bed.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23029816.post-77770965238605008392011-03-23T04:31:34.340-07:002011-03-23T04:31:34.340-07:00I love all Caladiums but maybe I would pick Miss M...I love all Caladiums but maybe I would pick Miss Muffet.<br />Love all the beautiful colors!<br />They add a lot to the landscape!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23029816.post-50895746648844766202011-03-23T04:23:37.559-07:002011-03-23T04:23:37.559-07:00What a great giveaway!

I like that in a plant. I have a small tree in the front of my house that needs some punch for a border ring. Roots prevent some of the border grasses so I thought caladiums might do the trick. It faces West so it gets a lot of Sun but the tree adds some dappled shade as well. So I was thinking either the Festivia or Florida Sweetheart would fit perfectly.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440525720599699886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23029816.post-91838934506281560842011-03-22T18:23:06.441-07:002011-03-22T18:23:06.441-07:00What a wonderful offer!

It's got a great, bold color that will really complement the purples and reds I have in my front beds. It's also full sun, which is all I have, and low-maintenance, which is what those beds are. (Little chance of them getting accidentally dug up -- I plant for keeps in the front beds.) I'm so liking the Cardinals, I'll buy 'em if I don't win 'em.Penny Carnathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043964566371049303noreply@blogger.com
