These two year old hybrids share a concrete pot that sits over the pump-out hole to the septic tank. The last photo was posted in August as hybrid JLSHYB11120007 The 2nd & third photos are baby picturs.

Hi Jeff, If they get it done this Wednesday, as they did this past Tuesday....maybe Pacer. :-)

I never thought this sport would mount to much. It really took off this summer. 1st photo shows the entire plant. After the shot, I pruned everyhting away but the sport. My Leopardia was inferior to Confetti and they look very similiar. Seems to be stable and has mutiple heads now. An...

And this hybrid for Kip...if he still wants it. Plant ID #0009

and these five... Plant ID #0015 #0016 #0018 #0019 #0030

It feels so good to be back in the Keys. I will bring the following 2 year old hybrids... Plant ID #0001 #0002 #0003 #0010 #0012

Randy, Thank you so much for all the pictures. What a treat for one home-sick croton addict! Really...thanks! As hard as it will be to leave Pixie, we will begin the long drive home by the way of Indiana this Saturday morning. Should be back in Paradise in a couple of weeks. Brenda...

Hey Robert, Well Done! I always enjoy your presentations, particularly seeing the larger specimen's in the Costa Rican landscape. Crotons that size and that nice, are seldom seen in the Keys. That sport looks awesome! In regard to Tortoise Shell, on last year's Biennial, some of us saw...

You can't tease us like that and just stop. Really, would love to see more.

All I can say, is when the cat's away, the mice will play. lol

Photo's 21 & 22 are exceptional. Love the Wanderings Robertico!

Hey Tim - what a huge improvement since I was there. The owners must be thrilled watching you transform the property into a tropical paradise.

Last one is JLS10110027 Key characteristic is it's undulating oak-leaf. Very light sensitive. Wide variation branch to branch, depending on the varying degrees of direct sun. Does well with a lot of sun...smaller leaf but no serious bleaching. The value in this plant may be as a breeder...

Next is JLS10110026 Good grower, I planted this one next to Mortii. Similiar leaves contrasting red & yellow. Reminds me of Cardinal but better color I think.

I could sure use your help in evaluating the three following hybrids. They are from the same seed cluster as "Daisy's Dance" & "Daisy Christine". It would be pretty neat if one of these would be worthy of "Pixie Abilene" since they are sisters. The following photos were taken this summer...

You guys won' t mind me showing showing off a little will you? Our little Pixie has arrived, but not pixie-like... weighing 10 lbs. and in need of a haircut, but cute as a button! Mother & daughter are doing great.

Ana, My Zanzibar struggled for several months a while back. It would send out new growth which would soon die back. After much trial & error, the plant has come back with a vengeance. My conclusion, this cultivar is very sensitive to nitrogen. I stopped the fertilizer and flushed with water...

General Paget belongs in the "Croton Hall of Fame". Thanks Robertico!

Jose - Mr. White...I love it. A+ for leaf shape & size...and if you're into white...a must have! I would love to know more, such as age etc. Keep us updated on this guys progress. Good One Jose!

Randy - the coloring & veining looks more like Mosaic prior to the pink...White Mosaic?
