Caladium schomburgkii

Origin of the plant in the photos: received from R. Mansell in spring of 1997

This tiny caladium did not survive the winter; I think I managed to kill it by keeping it too dry. I have another very similar looking caladium which has spend the winter being rained upon by El Nino and is doing quite OK now.

	General habit of the plant. This is a tiny specimen; the leaves are about 2-3 inches long.
