Thanks Marie. Jose told me another name for Mrs Peyton, don't remember . I got it from Mrs Peytons' yard. But this was a cross with Bimbo. Didn't name it. Here's Mrs Peyton.

Hi Anna. I got this croton in the seed bed at the Ralph Davis estate and named it for its color. Marie told me I should have named it Nova. And yes it's very slow growing. That is probably why it was still in the seed bed. There were quite a few more seedlings there but this was the only...

Very Nice Anna. You're definitely doing something right.

Lamar. Would you post a recipe?

You look hot Jose. Your plants look like they enjoy it more than you do. Looking good. High today is 65 and rainy and damp. Under blankets at night. Not normal for Southern Arkansas. Still long sleeve shirt and light jacket feels good!

On another note I have plants that are most probably Pop's Yard and Fathers Day that came from the Davis Estate. Don't know if they were his cultivars but that's where I got them. Just sayin'.

Hi all. I still have quite a few cultivars from the Davis Estate. None of them named by me. Except Salmon. Marie said I should have named that one Nova. Anyway I have more cuttings of some of the varieties but very limited. I was going to bring some bare root stuff to the gathering last...

Just saw arctic air due all the way to Dade Co by end of next week. Frost and freeze warnings possible.

It was Helen's Favorite. I thought Helen (Henry's wife) told me that it was Henry's Favorite. I asked my cousin and he said Henry liked something else better. Can't recall what right now. Anyway it's the same plant and I'm calling it Helen's favorite. At least for me.

All so very nice Jose.

Thanks for the consideration. An honor. Yeah it's amazing to me how some people don't see the beauty in crotons. On another note those crotons disappeared at the time the croton scale was escalating and a lot of old time collections here in the springs began to decline. Glad I have a piece...

I'm so sorry for your loss Jerry. I only knew Brenda briefly but she made me feel comfortable around her. You will be in my prayers.

Happy Belated Birthday Jeff. I'll have to treat you to lunch.

Most probably the nectary is at the base of the flower stem and the length corresponds to the length of the probiscus of a night flying moth attracted by the fragrance. Pollination occurs when the moth drinks the nectar and its head transfers pollen from one flower to another.

Is this McAdoo? Nice contrast in the front yard.

Bakers Dozen coming along. even the green one is colored on the underside. Also a few other seedlings. It's amazing how so many seedlings look so much alike, but coming from the same batch of seeds it makes sense. They're getting much bigger!

gonzalez. to lazy to take new pic.

You didn't do it justice. That's a beautiful plant you have there. Mine hasn't missed a beat.

So sorry to hear of his passing. What an inspiration to so many others.

Another of may "beauties". Stretched and in a 1 gal. At least I had it for you. Would have been there if I hadn't got out of the hospital the day before and set up with a picc line for future antibiotic administration. Diverticulitis with micro perforation. Feeling pretty good now thanks...
