Hi Rick, Sorry about that incomplete post. Don't know how, but I submitted before I finished. Oh well. I loved the photos of your crotons and your entire garden. Hope that you can make it for the Tropical Fern & Exotic Plant Society auction on Octg. 28th. It should be great and as you...
Hi Tim, I have a very heavy canopy and lots of shade. I have found Raphael to be very nice and colorful. Another is Van Buren which is georgous with lots of pink, and of course there is Black Beauty which is spectacular. Marnie
Moose, You're the best. I love your photo's of the show now that I've had a chance to sit and enjoy them. It was like being there again. It was such a beautiful show with wonderful plant material and it saddened me to see the break down in the end. I agree that Jose had some incredible...
Wow I love that Tiger Eye. They are both quite interesting, but I'm partial to the spotted ones. Glad you are having such a good trip. Can't wait to see new collections. Marnie
Hi Lamar. Your collection looks beautiful and is obviously quite extensive. It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday at the USDA event. I think you will enjoy your membership in TFEPS. Lots of croton lovers in our group. Look forward to seeing you at the meeting on the 25th. Keep the photos...
Marie, What a great idea. I love it. Let's propose the idea to the board to include that category in our show this year. Ron, thanks for letting everyone know about our meeting tomorrow night. Hope to see many of you there. Marnie
Hi Jeff, I have put Monarch on my wish list. What a beauty it is. I love the large leaf crotons and have Sybil Griffin and Mona Lisa which both have very large leaves. Marnie
Tan Wi Kiat is indeed the director of Gardens by the Bay at Singapore Botanical Garden. Were you at the lecture he gave at Fairchild a couple of months ago? This croton is a newly released hybrid from Richard Button and quite nice. I will try to get some pictures up soon.
Congratulations on completing your planting project. Bet it looks great. Just wondering if you are the "little bird" who mentioned to Marie that I would like to have Freckles??? What a wonderful gift. Thanks. Also got Tan-Wi-Kiat from another friend. A good Christmas. Hope yours was also...
Thank you to our gracious hosts, Mike, Bob, and Mike H. for such a wonderful day. I came home with several beautiful crotons and will work on getting them in the ground soon. Can't wait for the next tour & auction. Marnie & Gerry
