Ron thank you so much for the very nice event. Loved seeing everyone, enjoyed the auction as well as seeing part of your beautiful collection. (never made it through) Pam thanks for your delicious pecan toffee bars. Yummmmm Emmylou

We have used this non toxic treatment for years, but we use boric acid and confectioners sugar instead of baking soda. Same principle and definately takes care of them.

What a wonderful day............perfect weather, incredible lunch, amazing plants, and best of all so many great people who all share a love of crotons. Many thanks to Mike W., Lamar S., Mike H., and Hans for allowing us to tour their gardens. I enjoyed putting faces to names that I have...

Delores has some very pale pastel pink.

My Caribbean Star is showing lots of pink these days.

I have also found several seedlings on old bloom spikes on Dreadlocks. Never seen it on anything else. Marnie

Lamar, Good to see you today at the celebration of David's life. It was so nice and some of the stories great. This is a beautiful croton and represents David well. I would love to get one if you should have an extra air layer or cutting. Thanks, Marnie

November 1st is good for Gerry & I. Thank you for putting such a great day together for us. Looking forward to it. Wonderful idea to have a special thread for upcoming plant sales/events. Is it possible? Marnie

Well I'm officially hooked on the poultry shears for air layering. I've gone a little crazy and there are small foil balls all over my garden. It's wonderful. Really makes it easy..............so fast. Marnie

Wow Tim, When I saw your post I thought those sheers looked familar and sure enough checked a kitchen drawer and found these very old poultry sheers that have been here for years. (Can't remember where I got them) Look pretty much the same to me so now I'm anxious to try an airlayer to see...

Thanks for the information Mike. I'll be more cautious using the liquid fertilizer in the future. The seedling that I lost was looking very promising, Oh well, lesson learned. It was a young plant and since I use the canister attached to the hose to apply the liquid, I'm thinking it...

Mike, I am wondering about your statement that you don't want to use liquid fertilizer and risk killing the plant. I didn't know that there was a danger there, but have actually lost two crotons ( a seedling and interuptum) soon after fertilizing with liquid fertilizer. Please tell me what...

Mike your garden is beautiful. The before & after pictures are great and really show how much things have grown in the past year. Looking good. It should explode with this rainy season that's upon us now. Marnie

Beautiful plants Lamar. We are going to take you up on your "open door policy" one day. Marnie

Thanks for your pictures Tim. I think the general concensus is that we have a beautiful Johanna Coppenger. (I love them both so would be happy either way.) It's such a bright and lively plant. Thanks again, Marnie

David, Your plants are all incredible, but Mr. Hitchcock is just wonderful. It does remind me of my tiger eye, but much more exotic. I love your old oak tree posts. Thank you for sharing your great photos with us. Marnie

Hi Ana, It gets dappled light for most of the day with full sun late morning for about 2 hours. It faces East, but we have so much canopy (palms & shady lady black olive trees) that there is very little window for full sun. Sorry I missed you yesterday. Hope you enjoyed the show. Marnie

I think 400 works fine. Thanks for all you do for us Ana. Marnie
