| Hi All,
Can anybody pass on info as to where I may purchase caladium bulbs & in particular one variety called "PINK BEAUTY". I am located on Queenslands Gold Coast but supplies from anywhere in Australia will suffice. Many thanks and enjoy YOUR garden as there beauty abounds!
Regards Eric W. |

| HI Eric. Keep an eye out at little out-of-the-way nurseries, markets and garage sales etc. You'll often pick up some beauties at good prices that way. Alternately, contact R & E nursery and arrange to visit when the plants are fully growing, and buy at the farm (I think they are at Mooloolabah). You will no doubt have difficulty getting hold of her; don't leave messages, because she doesn't return calls; and don't use their mail order service - it sucks. But if you can buy potted plants, there and then, she has some nice plants. |

| Caladiums are advertised in the back of gardening magazines via mail order. ABC mag has the biggest lot of ads - have a look through. Many, many years ago I bought some mail order and was happy with the results. |

| Hi Eric, I am replying to an old post, so I'm not sure if you are out there.
I have an abundance of Caladiums, not Pink Lady, but similiar, their pink bits aren't quite as bright, & mine have silver splashes through the leaves.
I am happy to send you some for free if you are happy to reimburse my postage costs. Cheers Carolyn |
