Lamar, that's great! I hope you get something like Keith's Freak Show. I don't know that the Trinidad Interrupted is one (0r both) of the parents but there sure is a resemblance.

Karl, it was good to see you and your mom. I'm going to list the percentages of sun for each of the plants. Others on the forum may disagree and I hope they'll chime in. And, what I have as full sun here may be different from others' yards because there are so many tall trees that break all...

Karl, I'm glad you'll be able to make it. We're located in the Palmatum - the plant sale area - on the North side under the big oak. We're almost at the entrance. Look forward to seeing you.

We grow it - or try to grow it - in Miami. It always needs protection in the winter but our efforts are rewarded with a few blooms each year.

Karl, your plants look great! I'm so glad Doris is doing so well for you. It's one of my favorites because of its amazing colors. Will you be coming to Fairchild this weekend for the Spring Sale? I've been pulling crotons for the weekend and there will be a fair number of really uncommon...

Did you get it from me? If so, is this it?

About 14 years ago friends of ours bought a home and moved back to Miami (Emmylou). In their garden a wonderful croton was growing. They brought us cuttings and we tried to identify it John Bender had never seen it so we gave him a plant. Finally we scheduled a visit to meet with Robert...

Karl, you'll have another opportunity in April when Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden hosts its Spring Sale. The Tropcial Fern & Exotic Plant Society will have a few vendors there who sell crotons. I think that's where we first met. The dates of the Spring Sale are April 11 - 12. Hope you...

The Tropical Fern and Exotic Plant Society will hold its Annual Show & Sale at Pinecrest Gardens on Saturday and Sunday, March 21 and 22, 2015. This is an event not to be missed by South Florida plant lovers. Vendors from as far as Louisiana and Thailand will join local growers to exhibit and...

The Tropical Fern & Exotic Plant Society will hold its Annual Show and Sale on March 21 - 22 at Pinecrest Gardens. This is a change of venue and an earlier date. In the past there have been many great crotons in the show as well as for sale. I would expect that to be the case this year as well.

Meeting January 26. 2015 The Tropical Fern & Exotic Plant Society presents Dr. Scott Zona who will speak on The Astonishing World of Tropical Plants on Monday, January 26th at 7:30 pm. The meeting will take place at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Rd., Coral Gables, FL in...

Wow, Tim, that has really grown. It was a tiny plant at the TFEPS Auction in Oct. 2013. You definitely know what you're doing! I just went out to photo the Exotica here that's in good color. I didn't get the best pictures because I just held the camera as high as I could and shot without...

Does anyone on the forum grow Governor Martinez? The reason I'm asking is that I think the croton that Kip won at the last Auction called Alva after the town it was found in, could be Governor Martinez. It bears a very strong resemblance to the picture on page 99. If you're growing it...

Keith Hanks told me there are two different plants with the name Caution Light. If I can find the other one, I'll post a photo. Keith, if you see this, please tell us more.

Ana, why not enter it as an aka - Kelly aka Mrs. Robinson?

Do you remember if you acquired it after the tour at the Glocks when someone may have known to rename a Dolores or was it before when we still had the debate going on Roseo Pictus?

Lamar, do you remember the source of your Roseo Pictus? Did it come with that name?

I don't think the wiki should be changed yet. I recently asked Richard Button about Delores. I thought it was one he imported from Thailand but he said that it was his seedling. If you look at old posts from Sergi when he was touring Thailand, you will see many plants similar to Delores in...

Ana, I took what I thought was Rosea Picta to the Glocks the last meeting there and Bob Alonso and Mark said it was not Rosea Picta. Then Bob turned to a Dolores that was there for the auction and said that was Rosea Picta and that he hadn't seen one in years. Jeff Searle was standing there...

What a beauty! A great name too.
