How many leaves do caladium Grow?

Hi i planted some Calladium bulbs back in February. they have all sprouted now some have 2 leaves and some have just one. some leaves are big but not as big as i imagined them to be....another thing i wanted to ask was if the leaves will spread and cover patches of dirt...? or do i have to plant the calladium bulbs closer to each other in order for that to happen? as of now i have the calladiums all scattered. and the leaves are all sprouted, they are also the same size. like i said some have 3 leaves but most have only 1. there is one that has a type of flower bud i did not know they can sprout flowers! well here is a picture of the calladium so far. (this is just one of them like i said before they are all scatered but they all look just like this one, it is the calladium Blaze)

My calladium:

thanks
