The giant variety can be gotten at Home Depot in a month or so for a couple bucks a bulb. They'll get full size the first year and they are excellent quality. If you scrape the center off the top and make a few scratches across the top of the bulb, you can induce a ton of new shoots the first year alone.

If you're looking for the colorful varieties, HD has them now by the bag for around 15 bucks. They're called caladium. They'll be smaller, but have the variegated colors you are looking for. Do an image search to see what varieties have the colors you like. You should find them in the breezeway section between the outdoors and the store.
