Breaking the Rules

So, I broke the rules and planted Caladiums in full sun. Caladiums are rated for partial shade to full shade, so I'm not sure what I was thinking. Well, actually, I was thinking, "I want to plant Caladiums to fill in the bareness of these flowerbeds until the roses grow," and I threw caution to the wind and planted them. It took a long time for them to start poking through the soil, and at one point I considered digging them up, because I figured they had been baked like the bulbs in my flowerbox. Thankfully, I held back, because they did come up, and they are doing great. I guess I got lucky this time!
