Phil, I love the one from the roof with the new flamethrower leaf and all the crotons surrounding it. Really great! Thanks, please do take more shots! I miss seeing your garden.

All very nice.
When is Searle going to get back behind a camera lens?
Pix - very pretty how you've combined the different plants. Like the use of mondo grasses, podocarpus and duranta - these will fill in nicely underneath and around the crotons and Ti. Lovely!
Ron - the swale landscaping is beautiful - I know your neighbors appreciate this tropical planting as a treat for the eyes driving by.

Well, I do not know why one of the uploaded pictures went separate and I wasn’t able to edit.
I also forgot some crotons’ names while I was away…and some I never knew. I need to identify some. Moose, please, do not remind me what I said in another thread. One day I may become the best Crazy Identifier!
What is this?

I also have one very old croton (over 20 years probably) that came with the house. It was on the west side of the house in full sun. It was almost all dark green and not pretty. I decided to propagate it and create a privacy fence of it because it is a survivor and not too pretty to jump into the eye…But I moved it on the east side into part sun. And look at it now!
What is it?

Someone has to teach me how to use this forum again. I had a message ( a greeting) with my post #20. But I can see only the pictures now
Luckily, the WORD saved it. Here it is:
"Hi Guys, I am back. I apologize for dropping off the face of the earth. I was far away and got into the travelling and a lot of family stuff and couldn’t post really. Then I came back home and found my weeds and some dying plants. So, I was busy. I found the thread where I left. I am so sorry, Moose
Yes, I kind of like to think about moving on to other endeavors but I currently do not have time for anything else. Why I am gardening all the time? I keep thinking that I am not gardening but fixing my landscape and one day it can be fixed…
Here are the pictures of my garden how I found it when I returned."
...I better go dig dirt now...

Thank you, Robert. How you would prefer to be addressed: Robertico, Robert or donroberth?
Pix is my almost real name. My husband calls me so. People here cannot not pronounce my birth name right (except the Spanish speakers).
...and I cannot go digging now because it is RAINING! now! It has been an extremely dry summer where I am...My rain barrel is always empty.
I am happy now and going to bother the forum

I'm a terrible "Croton Identifyer" but this one I'm familiar with. My name: Robert is fine...my close Costa Rican friends sometimes call me Robertico
