Tamara asked that I share more vintage postcards from my collection so here it is. Thought you may enjoy this one! Can you believe the size of those Elephant Ears?



Here is the other side for those interested.



This post card is postmarked 1907, little over 100 years old.

wow great postcard! i think their probably elephany ears because all the cladiums i have ever seen are multicolored! My old town in florida is the cladium capitol i think! we have a cladium festival there everyyear! but theres no cladiums there just crafts and stuff, but then people can pay to go up in a helicopter and go all over the cladium feilds! its truley amazing!

Hi toposh
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! I just googled EEs and they are in the Caladium family. Your Caladium festival sounds neat! I don't think though that I would ride in the heli to view the Caladium fields. What town in Florida does the Caladium Fest take place and when?

I think these old postcards are so cool. I'm going to dig in my collection and see what else I can come up with. That's if yall are interested. Stay tuned!

yes were interested i owuld love to see more!!! the cladium festival is held in lake placid florida the town i think was founded by the who invented the dewi decimal system its also called the town of murals because there are murals every where i think the festival i sheld sometime in november... i could be wrong but ill ask my grandma she live over there...

Hi toposh,
I just "googled" your town, very interesting. May put this town on my list of "must sees". I will be planning a trip to Florida and will go some time in April. Need to see if Lake Placid is close by.

Okay, I'll post more vintage postcards from my collection. Keep watching!
