    These are Caladiums. They come in a variety of colors. Especially nice for fall color.

    You are a lucky girl! These are caladiums....my very favorite plant. They survive drought and heat. They are not from the same bulb...you got a package of mixed bulbs. Caladium like to touch...if you plant them close (as directed) they thrive. Here are mine for this year. They can get expensive so I order the mixed box of 200 out of Florida. They have always been wonderful for me. You can take them up this fall, cut off tops and wash them; leave them under a tree in the shade to ...»
    dry a day or so and then pack them in layers in newspaper in a dry space (in NY...inside).

    As Susan says, you will have to dig these up if you want them to survive. Caladiums hate cold soil, which you have an abundance of in Buffalo.

    I love Caladiums! My favorite are the green and white...
    • Mine have been moved from the sunny corner they occupy in early spring to under the oak tree so they'll survive this heat...
