For all of you lovers of "big leaves" the International Aroid Show and Sale will be held this weekend at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens from 9:30 - 4:30 each day. More information is available at www.aroid.org. Vendors are coming from Ecuador, Colombia, Thailand, the U.S. and fabulous...

I've been noticing Dreadlocks around town looking really good this year. I kept driving by this one and finally stopped and got a picture. Is this a great year for Dreadlocks around the state or just the southern part of Miami -Dade County?

Fantastic! What a labor of love.

If it's not Doris Decker, it surely is close. I hope Kurt will see this and weigh in.

YEA! Ana is back! Here's R.L. Farquhar before I cut it up to propagate it.

Lamar, I wonder if the name is Hoople Street? I got my original plant of Hoople Street from Keith and it was named after the street that Bob Alonso grew up on. It looks very similar to your plant.

Here's a link to an article on Xanthamonas on crotons which the spotting might be? https://www.freshfromflorida.com/content/download/11397/144678/pp391.pdf

Hopefully I'll be able to write of a successful resolution to Case # 18-01519.

Thank you all for sharing my outrage. I still have a couple of smaller Exoticas so will continue to grow it - thanks Tim for the offer but I have it. As Karl said we do take precautions with a fence, guard dog and often a locked gate but someone determined to get around our precautions could...

I'm sorry to report that my best and largest Exotica is missing. I was going to show it to someone today and it was not there or anywhere else. I looked and relooked five times because it's hard to believe that someone would take a croton but I know this happened before to Plantnut when a...

This is the Puccini I purchased at the Spring Sale. I've been wanting one for years and years.

Just a reminder for everyone that the Spring Sale at Fairchild is being held this weekend, April 14-15. There will be many rare and unusual plants including crotons. Jose will be there and so will we. Hope you can make it!

Brenton, I have two 7 gal. Fishbones available. I'm in Miami. PM me for more info.

Mike, what a wonderful offer! I think it's a great idea.

Thanks to Mike W., the organizer, Mike H. the host, Jeff the auctioneer, Greg and DeDe the tour guides, and to all who brought crotons and food. It was so good to be with all of you. Thanks for a wonderful day of "croton fun"!

This is the croton Mark Hooten gave me as Earl of Derby:

Phil, I don't think this is Earl of Derby. Mark Hooten gave me an Earl of Derby at the Glock's gathering and it is a green and yellow. Look at the Veitch catalog and it will confirm the coloration. I'll try to get a photo up soon. I may have an extra that I can bring to the auction.

Hahaha. The 31st is good.

Merry Christmas Karl to you and your Mom. Best Holiday wishes to all and hopes that 2018 will be kinder to us and our gardens than 2017.

Ana, that's what I'm hoping but I'm waiting for Kurt or Keith to verify.
