4th of July Sparkle

[Moose]

Finally starting to grow ...

 

[Moose]

Best its ever looked ...

 

[Moose]

Looking happy ...

 

[Moose]

Been loving all the rain ...

 

[Moose]

Relishing the dappling of sun light ...

 

[Moose]

Is there a Doctor in the house ?

 

[Moose]

Monster leaves with very long outer lobes ...

 

[Moose]

Nestled in the shade ...

 

[Moose]

Also hidden in the shade ...

 

[Moose]

Waiting for the sun to break through ...

 

[Moose]

Where is the rain ?

 

[Moose]

Flushing Judy

 

[Moose]

Best color ever on this plant ...

 

[Moose]

Waiting for the pink ...

 

[Moose]

Friends waiting for the grill to get fired up ...

 

[Moose]

Its so darn hot outside. Does not seem to bother Glen.

 

[Moose]

Looks like a Tiger lurking in the jungle ...

 

[Moose]

One of the favorites ... Greedy

 

[Moose]

Tucked way under the Coconut palm

 

[Moose]

Never seem to be able to do this croton any justice with a photo ...

 

[Moose]

Got it at the last Searle Extravaganza. Its very happy ...

 

[Moose]

Thank you Ana. Its really getting its mojo going ...

 

[Moose]

Just repotted this one last week.

 

[Moose]

Potted up this one last week also. Big flush of new leaves getting ready to produce some hot pinks ...

 

[Moose]

Wish this croton would fill out and block the view of the A/C's

 

[Moose]

Very shaded, very pastel coloring ...

 

[Kingdavid]

MIGHTY FINE >>>>> Beautifulllllll crotons !

 

[palmisland]

Gorgeous

Wow, Ron, looking great! Everything looks so healthy and happy! Thanks. By the way, please post names when you can.

 

[Moose]

David, Randy & Ana -

Thank you for all your kind words.

Ana - you want names? The Wiki Queen has spoken ...

Polychrome from Jeff Searle

Crysophyllum also from Jeff Seale. Its all in the eye of the beholder. This one caught Craig Morell's eye from Pinecrest Gardens. He is coming to get cuttings for the Garden's mist house for a future new addition.

Another acquisition from Jeff Searle, was tagged Scarecrow

 

[Moose]

This came from Jeff as Yellow Duncan Macaw. Its definitely faster than a typical Duncan Macaw. Could use some more sun expose. It had a perfect location but the palm near it has responded to all the loving the crotons get, so it is in more shade now.

The middle croton is Dr. Alix from Frank Brown's garden. To the left is Bogoriensis from Keith Hanks as a little rooted cutting several years ago. The far right is the Scarecrow.

 

[palmisland]

Scarecrow is Heaven?

 

[Moose]

Scarecrow is Heaven?

Yes it is Randy. Sorry, I should have mentioned the corrected historical name.

 

[Moose]

Since its still raining, The Wiki Queen has spoken ...

From Marie Nock as Irresistible. To me it resembles the Richard Krukonis seen in Frank Brown's book more than any other version I've seen. What do you think ?

 

[Moose]

Still raining, eating left over 4th of July BBQ , might as well provide more names for Ana.

Delores also from Marie Nock. This is a Richard Button introduction.

 

[Moose]

Ana - you want names? The Wiki Queen has spoken ...

Robert Halgrim, another from Marie Nock. This one was named for the hybridizer and manager of the Edison Estate in Fort Myers, Florida.

Daisy Ortegas from Jeff Searle.
