somewhere deep in the bowels of this site is an earlier discussion of Sybil Griffin with at least three different varieties shown.

Marie - nice article. Almost hilarious in the author's attempts to quantify various aspects of a genetically unstable plant grown in a variety of conditions.

...last batch.

...and a few more... ...and nice to see a wide variety of plant material in the yard including some cycads like the coning Encephalartos ferox.

Anna and Bert, Thank you again for hosting today's meeting. Your yard is spectacular and reflects your knowledge,care, and attention. The new dog, Pete the Poodle, is a fine addition. Attached are some slightly out-of-focus pics starting with arrival of for sale plants and moving on up to...

Polychrome is not an easy one to find; I doubt if all the Florida nurseries combined have 20 plants for sale.

Will be bringing the following for auction or sale (S): John Soar - 3 gal, 3 ft tall Geisha Girl - 3 gal Willie/Reliance - 2 gal (S) Claude Lorraine - 3 gal (S) Lucille Alonzo - nice 1 gal Joanna Roof - 3 gal (S) Cornelius Halgrim - 3 gal Seminole Queen - 3 gal (S) Col. Gilbert Cutler - nice big...

Bad timing on Matthew with the Searle Sale and the USF Sale this weekend...

Yes, I'm saying that Old Legend is Willie Rundee (based upon Bob's ID yesterday.) Old Legend sounded like a flakey name when I bought it, but more than a few crotons have odd or unusual names.

First pic should be Antilla. Next is Michaelangelo

Finally got a good ID on this one. I do recall both John Bender and Dr. Brown looking at it at the same time and agreeing that 'it's a pretty croton'. This one loves full sun and needs full sun to color up nicely; otherwise it's pretty pedestrian looking bush. Parent plant is about 6 ft tall...

The plant in these pics was identified by Bob Alonzo as Willie Rundee. It was purchased a few years ago from a Searle Sale as Old Legend. So here's Willie Rundee!

Anna - Any plants under Carmen Christian attributed to me and that look like these pics should be re-labeled as Cornelius (not to be confused with Cornelius Halgrim which has a large interrupted leaf form)

A little difficult t o photograph since it's over 6' tall

Two pics taken today of my favorite

Five plants per person for the auction should be adequate and NO drop offs by non-attendees.

Anna- got back from Seattle (no crotons there but two very nice Japanese gardens) and noted no unusual leaf loss due to heavy rains or dry spell after; just the usual fall leaf drop.

...another inch since last posting.

Great pics; keep them coming!

14.5" total; lots of down small branches and palm fronds; nothing major
