Caladiums are a genus of popular ornamental plants. They have large leaves, which gives rise to the colloquial name of ‘Elephant Ear’ – something they share with Alocasia and Colocasia, which are also members of the Araceae family to which Caladiums belong. They are also sometimes called ‘Angel Wings’ or ‘Heart of Jesus’. They emerge during the rainy season in Central and South America, as well as in parts of Africa and India. Their leaves are often patterned in striking and unusual colors, particularly pink.
