Lovely babies. They could be anything when they are small. I am no expert but I would be more them happy to name them wrong, so, the croton heads could chime in and correct me…but I do not know :( #3 looks like yellow Mrs.Iceton to me.

Karl, I am sorry for the delayed reply. I suddenly got so busy and tired every day… None of my crotons have died. But they lost their leaves, and they have a lot of die back. Most part of my lot is on the north side, by the street, open to NW wind. There I am going to take advantage of me still...

Laisla, here is my Stewartii, last year picture. I have 4 more of them now, but they are just recovering from freeze and are not ready to be pictured. It may look different in your part of the world, you may try to turn it upside down:D Just kidding. Love aussies.

I am not doing well at auctions also, and now I do not see a point (since the crotons cannot be an ancor of the landscape here). Do you have anything that you want to sell? ...well... give away...privately?;)

I would appreciate the cuttings of cordylines. Thank you, Karl.

Beautiful! ...although I do not belive in my luck to win it :( Thank you for posting!

Can I make a wish? I got to like my Oak Leaves : Arrowhead, Fred Sander, Geisha Girl, Irresistible, Mrs Snyder Disraeli and Thanksgiving. I wish to have more of them (Quirko, for example). More of those that I already have would be also much appreciated. Thanks:)

I will try...

I am afraid to ask...where?

Lamar, are you puzzling us? The bug is Polka Dot Wasp Moth. What is this fragrant baby? ShamefullyEmbarrased I was wondering how you are doing. 42F! I am envies. The croton Pixie is alive and well. She is a tall baby and she lives by the little Blonde Flame Thrower. She had to carry a heavy...

Thanks again, Karl. I have more of some special Cordylines. I buy them now and then from Peters Crotons, and Scott has given me some. I would post more pictures of my Ti's but they probably do not belong to the croton forum. I can post more disaster photos though :D I am not a big fan of Ti's...

Thank you for the encouragement, Anna. Today I ran my sprinklers first time this year. I do not know what else to do. I do not plant intentionally anything that is not cold hardy down to 26F …but things happen, as you all know. And everything is so young! I've just finished my 4 years...

Karl, you are very compassionate. Thank you. There were a lot of icicles. I only covered crotons and not even all of them. I have other tropical plants also and they look bad:

Thank you for your input, Randy. The first thing I will do after unwrapping my plants is watering. I did not water since last rain on January 9. There will be some loses. I did not manage to cover everything. I wonder how much cold it takes to kill a croton? ...And also what is worse: several...

Yeah, what's up with that Global Warming? We were expecting to become a luxury waterfront property :D not this :mad: I cannot believe this is happening. I woke up twice last night to look at the thermostat. It is like having a baby in the house WideEyed Just venting. It was 29F at 7AM.

Oh, well. It looks pretty bad here already between 1 and 2 PM: very grey and foggy. Unusual. Good. I have time to put everything on: you cannot use frost blankets when the sun is out. I bought a mulch for my recently planted fruit trees, and I am digging some plants out.

I am no expert but I like the frost blankets. I am only gardening since 2014, and I learned about them here from Scott. You cannot leave them on your plants in the sun next day though. You will bake your plants. I used the bed sheets all the time before, and I am still using them all year...

Dan, people may not be here to answer in time. Me too, I am wondering if I should to dig out my smaller collectibles, put them in the pots and bring inside? Here is a a thread from the winter 2010: http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/threads/cold-protection.1158/#post-13922 Do you have frost...

Thank you, Karl. I do not know yet how I got out of the cold. I covered plants but not all of them at once. One cactus, which is in the pot by the some recently planted air layers, has turned white. I may post a picture tomorrow. My problem is that half of my plants are always either newly...

Thank you, Mike. 42 is not that bad. We got down to 32 one night. No freeze though. Here is a picture of what they did to ornamentals in Plant City on January 4. They are saving their strawberries this way almost every year. …I also heard that if there is cold but no freeze, better not to...
