This year I tried growing 3 varieties of Caladiums by my mailbox which gets only late afternoon sun. Image on R taken with Camera+ HDR - macro mode. This plant was originally from South America. It is a member of the genus Araceae, commonly known as Elephant Ear, Heart of Jesus, and Angel Wings. There are over 1000 named bicolor cultivars. I took a md-section image of the Queen White cultivar with macro mode. This reminded me of a city street map. I really like the patterns of a veins.in this close up view. The image on the right is the group image of my caladiums at my mailbox. I just sharpened and increased the midtones in PSE. Will have to pay more attention to these plants at nurseries and gardens for more photo opportunities.
