Ramble Crotons?

[Crazy for Crotons]

Will anyone be seeling crotons at the 2012 Fairchild Ramble?

 

[Marie Nock]

Hi Ray,
We'll have some crotons along with our other stuff and Jose Lopez wiill be selling some crotons too. We'll be selling with the Tropical Fern & Exotic Plant Society and will be located in the Palmatum under the royal poinciana. Will you be coming over?
Marie

 

[Jeff Searle]

We'll be bringing many crotons like last year. Also, because there's no official Palm Society Sale anymore, I will be bringing palms as well and bromeliads. And other tropical goodies......

 

[Crazy for Crotons]

I'll be there.

 

[Moose]

I'll be there.

Hmmmm ... Ray - perhaps when your done you can stop by the Moose Land. I'm just 8 miles due north of Fairchild.

It's picture 46 in Jose Lopez's album in the Members section. Faster to direct you to that than to go take a picture. We have it from two sources - Trinidad and Hawaii but no name unfortunately.

Embassy
Stained Glass
Flamingo
Bimbo
Mosiac

Between Marie and myself (sitting across from each other), were going to bring some MUCH NEEDED COLOR into the garden this weekend. We should stand out!!!

Jeff, you always brighten up the ramble with all those colorfull crotons.Looking forward to seeing the sale. Due to missing both weekends of your extravaganza because of work.

 

[Moose]

I'm heading there this morning. I'll try to get some pictures to post.

We had fun at the Ramble today and I was lucky to find my first Compte de castelaine for sale Thanks to Steve and Marie for bringing this to the sale

 

[Jeff Searle]

I'll be there.

Really?

 

[Moose]

I'm heading there this morning. I'll try to get some pictures to post.

Marie and Steve Nock's small booth was jammed with purveyors of unusual plants all day long ...

 

[Moose]

Anybody want to stir up a bit of Commotion ?

 

[Moose]

One of my absolute favorite cultivars, Tortoise Shell

 

[Moose]

And a rarely encountered Inca

 

[Moose]

The first Cornelius I've seen in person. It's a beauty that I think I need for the Moose Land.

 

[Moose]

Another rarely encountered cutivar, the Pink Davis. SWEET

 

[ScotTi]

And a rarely encountered Inca

Nice photos Moose! Why the eek smiley after Inca? Looks great to my eyes.

 

[Moose]

If you love bromeliads - there were amazing colorful examples for sale everywhere.

Scott - I love this croton. A well grown one has fabulous unique colors and leaf shape. The eek emotioncon was used as a SCREAM Wish Palmpedia had an expanded emotioncon selection

 

[Moose]

If you enjoy rare or unusual Staghorn Ferns - there were some available as pups. The pups kinda look the same. Here is a list of available species and prices one plant vendor had available for sale.

 

[Moose]

OK - back to more crotons ...

A Flamingo getting ready to color up for some Fall bling in the garden

 

[Moose]

I'm a sucker for the interrupted leaf type cultivars. This is a very uncommonly found Halloween. The plant is extremely healthy but could use a bit more sun exposure to bring out the orange colors.

 

[koki]

Nice crotons, thanks for posting

 

[palmisland]

Thanks for the pics Moose. I couldn't make it down this year.

 

[donroberth]

Where do you find this great variety of cultivars? I'm both envious and happy for you...hang in there Moose !
