Standby, Ray. Scott is working on the other side of the zoo right now. This is not one of the plants donated by Lamar, Randy, Ana, or me. Scott said it's hidden behind a storage shed.

Or just another President Reagan?

Rich - Rule number one with Croton airlayers is only work with gray wood. That having been said, I've done airlayers on branches that were just over a 1/4" and as large as nearly 2" with success. You might have to wait a bit longer with the really thick ones. And in answer to your second...

Cronstadt has no red and the leaves are much thinner.

2 parts pine fines to 1 part potting soil mix from Bushel Stop. No Perlite. Perlite is evil. It never disappears from the soil. Bushel Stop's potting mix is top soil, sand, and crushed pine.

I will be there with pulled pork and Randy.

Sorry, Jeff, the 3 cuttings I grew this summer from Thea all went in the ground in my garden. I have one in full sun to see what it will do and two more planted at the foot of a very tall Orange Geiger. Anna, since you are bringing plants for the zoo, I'll start an airlayer off my Thea for...

Thea and a Thea seedling, Alley Cat, Pinocchio, President Reagan

I will be coming, bringing Randy as my only trade. Judy - I am also bringing a 6-pound pork butt, all cooked, but it needs to get reheated 1 hour prior to serving in a 450 degree oven. I will also bring hot sauce and Boca Boys barbecue sauce. For those of you bringing plants for the Palm...

Seedling, now grown into a 3-gallon can with 8" leaves. Named after Suzi's granddaughter - Emmalee

Well, hopefully a few more folks will show up. See you at 10am this Sunday.

Don - It's impossible to be 100% sure from a photograph, but your plant appears to be Curly Boy.,

Two different Corkscrews. The first two are the same plant with a closeup. The third picture has a Corkscrew that gets heavy sun in the afternoon.

Three different Curly Boys. The third one grown in deep shade.

No. Curly Boy has red as it's primary color - no pink at all, except in new leaves before it turns red. Corkscrew has pink in the older leaves. I'll post some pictures this afternoon when I get home from Dallas. Randy and I found a beautiful Corkscrew growing in an alley in Hollywood Hills last...

With the exception of the troll, who won't be here, can I get a head count of who will be coming? Thanks.

Phil - Randy is definitely going. I'm a maybe right now, but Randy will bring back as much as he can carry. Thanks!

Just a quick reminder, you know how these sort of things kinda sneak up on you...

I have seeds from Cocothrinax argentata and Licuala grandis. Is it better to start them in a mistbed that's mostly in the shade or in a sunny spot in the garden where they'll have to be hand-watered? If they have to be hand-watered, how often? Thanks.
