As you may guess, hybridizing crotons is great fun for me. This past winter will be the first time I haven't germinated at least a thousand seedlings. So this may be the last class for awhile. I have culled the class down to about 50 individuals. This would be my top ten at 1 year old.

A few weeks ago our daughter & family came to Houston for a three week visit. Brenda & I are pretty fortunate that our kids can work remotely. Anyway, this allowed me to drive down to Summerland to check on things, load up some clothes & most importantly load up the expresso machine. And Brenda...

Before I start, allow me to thank you all for the kind comments on my recent posts, it's really appreciated. I've been asked on several occasions, on how I achieve some of the colors that I do etc. I've been hesitant to respond, because I don't feel qualified to do so. There are some very...

I've been behind the eight ball the last few months. A 15 year old computer and XP software isn't helping. Love my iPad and want to go to a Mac but this posting trouble has me concerned. Anyway, for those who are unaware, I've dedicated my croton hobby to the memory of my grand daughter, Daisy...

Got this one from Jeff as Martha Brooks...Jeff now believes it isn't and doesn't know what it could be. Resembles General MacArthur but isn't, maybe the MacArthur Complex. Anybody?

This a top 10 croton for me. Solid performer and good grower.

This plant is on the north side of the house and looks it's best over the winter months. It was putting on a show this year'

David, I hope you don't mind me borrowing from your "Under the Old Oak Tree" thread. Jim Glock & Jeff Searle have given me so much **** over the years on my numerous Robellini's...but you sure can't beat them for perfect light. The Monarch leaves don't turn dark and it's growing like a weed.

Well, it's a cold and rainy day in northern Indiana. A good time to catch up on some posting if I can figure it out...I'm over 60. Anyway, I enjoyed my day at the Searle sale. Didn't buy anything but when Judy,Tim and myself went exploring, I came across this awesome looking thing. On my wish...

This may have been posted earlier, if so I missed it. Anyway, Bob Alonso was pretty sure that what we are calling Father's Day is in fact Columbiana Gold. I think he said it is a sport of Columbiana. I have noticed that my F.D. is putting out a branch that looks like Columbiana. Jeff, Tim, Jim &...

While checking in on the Glock Jungle today, I clicked off a few...

I have a few begging for a photo.... Cornelius & Limelight

These 45 puppies were selected from a class of 1300 seedlings.

My number JLS10110026. Fast Grower

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.

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...
