Would love to know if this could be ID'd?
Updated photo of Unknown #5 from Dr. B. Frank Brown's garden: Looks even better in person.![]()
Now I started a new area on the flip side (towards the north) from all the previously posted crotons. Trying to keep Grandma company - seen in the far background![]()
This one may be Charles Rutherford?Sorry about the pictures but the battery was dying - flash no worky very good
![]()
These were added as a continuation of the bed with 11 other crotons of the Frank Brown collection.Next to the maybe Charles Rutherford - I planted this one that looks as if it may be a Caribbean Star ?![]()
This one looks like it may be in the General MacArthur complex?![]()
This unknown from Frank Brown's garden looks like it is General Paget
This is an iffy. Jeff Searle feels that it is Caribbean Star. This has been my thinking as well. Over time this plant has produced undulating leaves and a texture along the margins that has created some doubts. Chris Mayhew and I put it next to another Caribbean Star and that is where the question arose. We both felt it was distinct or may be an interesting form of Caribbean Star.
Any thoughts anybody?
I just finished this area this evening with the detailing. A two inch layer of freshly raked oak leaves was liberally dispersed around these plants. An additional two inch layer of mulch from a Mahogany was placed on top. Hopefully this will aid in keeping the crotons feet warm for the upcoming cold season.
Another interesting unknown from Frank Brown's garden. It looks mostly like a Columbiana but I am not 100% convinced. Any ideas, opinions or thoughts?![]()
I suspect that this unknown from Frank Brown's garden may be Mammie ?Spoke with Keith just the other day. Keith recallls that the Mammie cultivar was developed by (forgot the name - help Keith!) in Bradenton, FL by crossing a Gloriosa with a Tortilis.
Still uncertain but this unknown from Frank Brown's garden is looking alot like Van Buren.![]()
Ron,
The croton in post 36 looks a lot like my Mike Ferrer. I hope that Keith sees this so he can weigh in. When you come by, bring a leaf so we can compare them.
