Here's one I got out of his yard. Leaves are 8" in the largest to maybe 4 1/2' in the smallest. Some of the oldest leaves have a pinkish blush, barely noticeable on top but obvious on the underside. Just dug it out of the yard and repotted it.

Peyton, nice cross. Stoplight is always a good breeder for me, but I've always just used it for pollen. Not that I wouldn't pollinate it. Just haven't had the opportunity yet. Like I said....Great Expectations.

Peyton, I think it's a good idea. It's nice to see what's out there. A lot of my plants lost color this winter but fertilizing is pushing new growth that seems to have them coloring up. I'll get more pictures when that happens. I'm taking first airlayers off some of the seedlings now. We...

Keith...Hope you don't get too far away from the crotons. What happened with the ti plants you were going to get? They're quite colorful too. And bromeliads are nice. I had a collection of them once myself. Still have a few around.

Again much different lighting. your pic in full sun and mine in shade.

Allan the second pic in the post looks like Roccio to me.

Again probably a different light situation.

Allan here's a pic of my Compte de Germiny...Chris

Seedlings, seedlings...seedlings everywhere, some good, some bad, some I hate to care. But it sure is fun! I just threw out a batch the other day. They just didn't seem to have the potential of the others in the group and space is at a premium. I thought later I probably should have given...

Marie..I think that one looks like another of the Ralph Davis crotons. I'll just have to see it in person. Chris

Jim, Judy...Which key is it you're on. I've got to get down there sometime. Chris

I now have cuttings of irene kingsley/satan and coral shower from the remnants of yesterdays' bomb damage. Ladders are up and I'm continually picking but I just can't see them all. And the squirrels are relentless mango bombardiers.

Sergey..beautiful seedlings. Could you post a picture of Mons Florin in this thread for us. There is no picture in the online reference (http://www.palmpedia.net/wiki/CROTON_ONLINE_REFERENCE). Maybe you could post some pictures there. Thanks.. Chris....I did just look in the book and found...

As far as the fern goes the narrow leaves are the fertile fronds with spore. A very happy plant.

For all you interested in a trip to Palm Hammock I have not been able to get hold of anyone there yet. And from what I've learned Tim is still mostly at the nursing home. It may be very difficult to fin him at the nursery, although he is apparently there periodically. I will keep all updated...

I meant to say lets get in touch with Jeff and make a day out of it.

ruh roh! Which one was it?

Just couldn't make it. Sorry I missed Tim. Maybe we can make it to Palm Hammock soon and see what's happening.

Ron ..don't know how rare. It's Hemionitis palmata. Kinda striking. Maybe I should make some babies.

I held off on the imadocloprid and sprayed with organics for weeks but I couldn't take it any more so I applied it on every croton I had. Now the beetles are showing up. So far they don't seem bothered. I can only hope they will be able to maintain a population even with the insecticide. Oh...
