First Time I've Notived

OK, I admit it, some of my first crotons were Petra. Today I noticed my yellow Petra has male flowers. Can't recall ever seeing any of mine or anybody else's Petra flowering.

Mine also flower but they are small dense clusters never very big

The Petra's flower often in my garden. I have a few older plants from the colorful Petra. The Yellow Petra has flowered male flowers since late summer. I used the pollen on my Diane female flowers and it looks like it worked. Now I see the female flowers forming on the Yellow Petra.

Its amazing, never seen a Petra flower, now my Yellow Petra is supporting four male bloom spikes, no girls

Here is a 5 yr old Petra seed plant. Not a lot of great color, but some leaves look great.
