This one did not miss a beat after being removed 2 weeks ago...

A 5-6 month old cutting has not achieved its mature rhizomatuous root system, therefore the dry soil from lack of rain was more likely the cause of this problem.

I finished planting the new area this week and it is now home to 48 different Ti. Got to find another area to redo as I have lots more to get in ground.

Lamar, A garden tour is possible later in the year. The new area should fill in real good this summer and give the Hawaiian Garden look I am striving for. Here is a snap shot of the western side of the area .

The plants await

I am almost at the end of the clean up and will start the plantings the first week of June. Thanks for the offer Lamar, but I think I have more now than I can fit into this area as it will have a walkway and seating area.

Interesting, as I have never tried to eat the fruit. My vine has quite a few at this time.

Something unusual on this one the flowering and seed ripening seems to be ending the life of the stalk. New shoots have emerged at the root zone. Hope the fruit are full of seed.

May 2016... clean out underway... Needs a little color to be added... I guess I will have to think of some plants to add here in the next few weeks.;)

Thanks guys! I covered the clear wrap with foil and will wait a few more weeks before removing.

I put this 14"air layer on Diane for a friend some weeks ago, roots now coming out of bottom of the plastic wrap. With Diane being such a large leaf Croton and a new flush of leaves now emerging should I wait longer to remove it?

The 'Caroline' x 'Dr Brown' fruit are about ready for the next step... Still waiting on the 'Miss Andrea' fruit to ripen.

Sorry, but it looks like what happened to my in ground 18' Ponytail a couple of years ago. I tried everything to save it but the rot continued.

Chinese Croton ( Excoecaria cochinchinensis) A attention grabber in the garden. Bright red on the leaf undersides show in the breeze...

:cool:

The elusive 'New Guinea Fan' not found in Fl to my knowledge as I can not find it here. It looks to be a very hard one to find, but I believe it will show up in a couple of central Fl yards this year.

Dean, Do you have 'Jackie'?

here is a shot of the orange with plain green new growth...

The good news that they are used a lot in the landscapes here, but it is the hand full of the same that can always be found in every garden center around these parts. Seek and you shall find... that is what makes collecting them fun. I am determined that I am going to my hands on one this year...

I have no clue on the red with the green new growth. I do have a offspring plant from Jackie that has all green new growth that age to orange. The second looks to be 'Pink Ribbons'
