Re: SPRING MEETING Moose, Is the EXCELLENT VENUE you are working on MOOSELAND? From your postings, it is obvious, you have done an outstanding job building your Croton Collection in a relatively short period of time.

I find that information very interesting. You certainly are an asset to this forum.

Phil Stager raised an excellent question. Are the earliest names listed first? It might be even more helpful to highlight or in someway indicate the preferred name, if that has been established.

In my opinion, the remark about Jerry is inappropriate for this forum and only served to paint Moose as a far-left loon. It is more fun to talk crotons, on this forum!

Dean: I didn't think you were referring to the naming of crotons 350 yrs. ago. In recent years, some people, not knowing the name of a croton, made up their own name. That is a fact! Even Junglegal, a new croton collector, buyer realized that the same croton could have multiple names...

This will prove helpful and much better than a book because, it can easily be edited and updated. You are moving right along Junglegal; Great job! Do you think we should have a special heading for Thai hybrids?

Jeff: Regarding Thai crotons, what do you find is "the handwriting on the wall"? I already figured out, they are not the easiest to grow.

Tim Anderson. Be sure to call ahead first. He doesn't always have them available.

Phil: I remember Dave Hickman. He got his Thai crotons shortly after I got mine. I never went to his place. I only saw him at plant shows. Years ago, I bought a few palms from him. I remember him telling me he was married to his palms so, I was surprised when he went gung-ho for Thai...

Sergey: I found your post very interesting. Maybe that will help cool my desire for some of those gorgeous Thai crotons, I see in pictures. I have imported some of the Thai ones, with various degrees of success. Phil: Could you please reveal the name of the gentleman in Miami that sold...

Ricky, thank-you so much for the update on Karen's treatment. She has been gentle on mind, since you first posted the notice. I only met Karen once; that was last year, at your Croton Meeting. However, I have been praying for her recovery, more than you can imagine and will continue to keep...

Borgy got it! The name is Goldilocks. Note to Crazy for Crotons... Goldilocks can be propagated from cuttings. You might care to try again with the one you have. Let us know how you make out.

Moose: No, it is not Rapunzel. However, that is a very good guess. Did someone help you? The next try, you will probably have it!

Moose: You know darn well, the name of The Croton is not Winnie the Pooh. :D:D:D:D

The Moose Be Clueless No More! I too, saw that Croton at Fairchild and knew I "needed" to have one. After inquiring around, I was able to located the dealer/collector that had it. Of course, I learned the name of it. Moose, if you guess the name, I will also be glad to tell you where I...

Two fine West Coast croton collections that made it through the winter and are thriving. Thank-you for sharing; The pictures are worth a thousand words.

Wow! Do you really expect to get a cutting off of that little plant in one month? What kind of fertilzer do you use? Have you had good luck in the past, rooting small, fragile tip cuttings? Don't you need at least 6 inches?

Good work; Doesn't look like you lost a leaf. You do really well with your mist bench.

Scott, They may have taken a beating but it looks like they kept on ticking! Glad to hear it.

Oh my gosh! They are absolutely gorgeous. I have always liked William Craig but never saw one as beautiful as yours. You guys are doing something right! May I suggest you write an article, with pictures, for the Croton Society Newsletter. I'm sure that would be most welcome.
