| Positive | stage52 (1 review) | On April 12, 2008, stage52 Sussex, NJ wrote: I have ordered from Happiness farms for many years now. I order their fancy mix box of 25 bulbs and the lance leaf box of 25 bulbs every year. Cost me $50.00 & shipping is free. The Bulbs always arrive in beautiful shape and there are always more then you ordered with sometimes as many as 10 extra bulbs. The bulbs are very large with many eyes and far better then the dried up bulbs I have received from many other sources.
I plant each bulb in a 4" pot and water. They send up shoots very fast with little effort. I let them grow in these pots until I can Identify each variety and then repot them in my Larger Planters with 3 - 5 bulbs in a pot with 1 variety per large planter. They make a beautiful display on my deck every year and they take little care except some occasional cutting off of older leaves.
As a gardener for 30 years I must say that these are the easiest bulbs to grow and you get the biggest bang for your buck hands down. I make displays of these in a cascading stair display with 8" pots of Airplane plants, Basil varieties & Variegated English Ivy intermingled and they make an impressive display that lasts all season here in Northern NJ.
This Company also has Jumbo bulbs available at a great price. I would highly recommend this Source for Caladiums and their service is A++++
The Caladiums come in many colors & intricate designs and you can save the bulbs by drying them out in the fall & storing them in warm area in dry area & restart them the next spring. As you can tell I love these and I think you will to. Check them out, you will not be sorry. | | Positive | juliep127 (2 reviews) | On March 23, 2008, juliep127 Louisville, KY wrote: I've ordered from Happiness farms for a couple of years. The prices are great and they have good quality bulbs!!! Thanks so much. Awesome experience. Keep sending me brochures!! | | Positive | zeoplum (4 reviews) | On April 21, 2007, zeoplum Mobile, AL (Zone 8b) wrote:I am new to Caladiums so I had several questions before ordering. I emailed the company and rec'd prompt and friendly responses from Kim. She was very helpful so I ordered the 50 Mixed Fancy Leaf box and was very pleased in how fast they shipped and the way they were packed. Also, there was a problem with my debit card not being activated so my payment declined. They had to contact me to sort that out and I was very pleased that the person I spoke to was kind and understanding about it.
Overall, I'm very impressed with Happiness Farms and their customer service. I will try to come back later in the season to post an update on the quality of the Caladium bulbs. On April 23rd, 2007, zeoplum added the following:
Wow, I only paid for 50 bulbs but after counting them, I found they sent me 60 full size bulbs plus about 10 or 12 tiny ones. Actually, the tiny ones may just be ones that have broken off of bigger bulbs because they're only about 1/4 as big. But they have defined "eyes" on them so I'm counting them as plantable. :-) On May 15th, 2007, zeoplum added the following:
2 1/2 weeks after planting and I've already got big beautiful blooms! On June 11th, 2007, zeoplum added the following:
Well, I have to say the $35 I spent on these bulbs was such a value! The blooms look great and the variety of colors and sizes is so satisfying! You can tell these are really good quality bulbs! I highly recommend Happiness Farms!!! | | Positive | PinkShades99 (4 reviews) | On February 19, 2007, PinkShades99 Houston, TX wrote: Wonderful plants, the bulbs were a good size. They should be even more wonderful this year. Good service.

Order arrived on the exact day they said it would. Caladiums are doing beautifully. | | Positive | artchic (4 reviews) | On May 14, 2006, artchic Uncasville, CT wrote: I ordered the rainbow mix of 50 caladiums and they arrived the other day. The bulbs are very nice, and are starting to sprout. I planted them in pots, and so far they are doing nicely....I will order from them again next year! | | Positive | Buttonwillow (2 reviews) | On April 10, 2006, Buttonwillow Palominas, AZ (Zone 8a) wrote:I have ordered large amounts of Caladiums from Happiness Farms for several years. I have another order in for 800, April 2006 delivery. Everything about this grower is A-1 with my dealings with them. | | Positive | AlanMann (2 reviews) | On May 20, 2004, AlanMann Plano, TX wrote: I bought several varieties of fancy and strap-leaf caladuims from Happiness Farms for the first time this spring. Their service was professional and courteous. They easily handled a subsequent "change order" that I phoned in. The bulbs were of good size and quality. I was impressed that each variety I ordered had a few extra bulbs (e.g., ordered 25 or one type, received 28). They also have probably the best website of any caladium grower. Every single bulb I planted has come up and is thriving. I would definitely recommend them! | | Positive | Damian32693 (7 reviews) | On January 28, 2004, Damian32693 Roslyn, NY wrote: I ordered the mix of 30 caladium bulbs last year and they were spectacular! I highly recommend them!

Bulbs are of highest quality-customer service is excellent. I believe that this company and "Fancy Leaf Caladiums" are one and the same.highly recommend |
