Buddy and Jo Brown load their car with boxes of caladiums from Lake Country Farms in Lake Placid for this year's caladium sale.

SAINT AUGUSTINE – The caladiums are here, and they’ll be available for pick-up and purchase March 10 from 9 a.m. to noon at Watson Realty parking lot, U.S. 1 South.

Volunteers from the Pilot Club of St. Augustine traveled to Lake Placid, Fl. last week to transport 30 boxes of white, red and pink varieties of the colorful leaf plants. They are available 12 for $10; 25 for $20, 50 for $35 and 100 for $65. To pre-order call 471-2246, 824-1268, 806-6000 or 692-2663. Bulbs will also be available for purchase March 10.

In addition cabbage, at $1 per head, will be on sale, with proceeds from that going to the Donnie Heymen Scholarship Fund. Last year $1,000 was donated to the carpentry students at Pedro Menendez High School to help finance their trip to the Skills USA competition.
