Its pretty much on the bigger stuff,I wouldnt be able to dip them. While I was at the store buying liquid copper, I noticed Bayer had a product called moss and algae killer. I thought I might try this also, because the ag. guy said copper or anything that had an algaecide in it. It also is...

Sorry for your loss Jerry and family

Almost done- by tomorrow my whole shade house will be defoliated, nothing but bare stalks left- on to the next infected area of my yard.

Marie told me to call the Fl. dept. of ag., so I did. I talked to a plant pathologist and I had him pull up these pics on the forum. He said hes 95% sure - just from looking at the pics it is cepahaleuros virescens. He said to call it a parasitic algae was pushing it a little. He said...

Im still at a loss about this, I know it was a wet summer, but I have been thru wet summers in years past but never had this problem. Never knew there was such a thing as an parasitic algae. Ive heard of a parasitic fungus, its in alot of croton collections. [ its about the size of a bb, but...

I will try to send Mike some pics tomorrow so he can post them for me. Man, where did this come from, If Id had known this was possible I would have sprayed often. Ron, I hear what your saying about copper toxicity, but by the time I done, you will be able to mine copper out of my yard. I...

Has anyone ever had an parasitic algae? its starts off from small brownish spot and gets bigger, kinda of transparent. When I first notice the problem I sprayed the plant with liquid copper and took some leaves to the agriculture extension service. The leaves that I sprayed the algae was dead...

I wished these would have made it to St. Pete!!

Anna, we all have failed to thank you enough. You have spent many, many hours of you time to fix the wiki. I think the wiki will fall apart without your help. I hope you dont take too long of a break from it. As for any decisions you have made- I think they were all great. Im glad you found...

Great to see everyone again. Thanks Phil for hosting. What great deals to be had. I came home with 11 new plants, I bought 8 and three were gifts. Thanks Judy, Tim, Mike. Wish we could have these get togethers more often, it was great to see everyone. I hope Ray got the croton bug again!

Tim, hope you get some neat plants out of those seeds. Ron, Titan is a plant that came from John Bender. Ive had it many years and no one could give me a name, so I call it Titan. It gets huge leaves with a strange shape. awesome plant.

Jerry, your crotons are beautiful. Please dont say your croton career is over- you have just begun. Like Ana said, just on hold for awhile. I hope everything goes well for Brenda.

If your rumor is right- just let me say, Daisys Dance will be the most expensive plant ever bought. I have been in a dry spell with crotons, but that plant gives me the croton bug again!

I have David Murphy. Your plant is a close match, but it looks like it may have a thicker leaf.

Thanks to all who organized this event. Plantation is a great place to grow crotons. Mike, keep collecting and someday you will have a place like the great John Bender.

Just to be clear, Bender didnt do seedlings, this was a plant that came up by itself. It was one of the last plants I got from his yard.

I have them all except for Gus Jimenez - Ron Parlett - H. Lee. The Pearl no longer exists.

Pretty Bird, and Three Toes wre hybrids of Steve in Ft.Myers. He is no longer into crotons

Chris, I only work with crotons. I did buy 400 different cordylines awhile back from Hawaii- - like I need to collect anything else! [cameo is not my hybrid ]

Mike, I didnt have a Tie Dye at the last auction. Tonya Hanks is one hybrid that I will be giving out now, Tim, I have one for you. Key West is the last vacation we spent together before she passed. Thank you Ana for posting these pictures.
