Insights
It is part of a group of plants called aroids which produce spadix - flowers in sheaths, like Peace Lilies or our native Cuckoo Pints. Caladium lindenii (previously called Xanathosoma lindenii), is native to Colombia. It was named after the famous Belgian, 19th-century botanist, Jean Jules Linden, who was an expert, curiously, on orchids.
