Tracie,
Yes, they do, but in their case, the flower is only secondary to the
desirability of the leaves. Caladiums are aroids, and are in the same
family as callas, jack-in-the-pulpit, anthuriums, and philodendrons. Can't
say I know too much about frequency of bloom. Let us know if any fruit
result from the bloom.
