Although we haven't had any heavy rains this season, water in any quantity brings about miracles in the world of plants. The caladiums are newcomers to the flora making a home on the old piquiá log described in previous posts. Notice the large fern frond to the left. Remember when it was only a nodule on the rhizome? And then a fiddle head? Less visible is the Portuguese Lace fern just behind the frond.
