Caladium Humboldtii "Leaf Within Leaf" 5.9.12

This Caladium has its origins in Venezuela, and is known for its heart-shaped leaves, and bright white splotches. I especially like this image, because it was right after a heavy rain. You can still see the raindrops dripping from the leaves, evergreens, and grass. So inviting that I felt I was being invited to take this shot, so I did! What's also interesting about the leaves here, is that it's as if a green leaf has been painted within each leaf, created by the white splotches that form its shape. © Maria Dorothea Campbell 2012
