Here are 4 old crotons, all over 7 feet tall. May I have help with their names? The pictures posted out of order. There are two photos of each plant. Fawnridge just posted on Rags thread that one of his plants looked like a Stoplight that lost it's color over time. Perhaps this is what...

True! I'll see what I can do. Yes, I did bring brownies and the little coconut/macadamia cookies.

Thanks, Ron. The ones I got from you are safely in the shade, and looking happy.

Phil - that picture of the Banyan/Auction Site is fantastic - thanks!

Beautiful shots, Rob!

Wow - what a great day we had on the croton tour! Many, many thanks to our tour hosts - Mike (Bullwinkle), Bob, Mike Harris, and Jeff and Andrea. Your gardens and croton collections are just awesome. Your willingness to share the beauty of your gardens is greatly appreciated. My sister...

Here's the largest croton leaf in my yard - 14 inches, not including stem. It's Charles Rutherford, obtained from Jeff Searle's a couple of months ago. It's starting to leaf out very nicely!

I've been on the croton forum for only a couple months, but i have enjoyed Ti plants for many years. (I had no idea this discussion was here until just now - cool!) My first Ti plant was obtained about 15 years ago when I complimented a lady in church who was assigned to put together altar...

Hi Jeff. Would you happen to have any of these available? Dr. B. Frank Brown Rudy Bachman Ethel Craig Fred Sanders Purple Queen Princess Imelda Marcos (this is going by a new name, I think... ) Claude Lorraine Royal Horseguard Mary Queen of Scots Florence Black Picturatum Monarch...

I will definitely bring my sister - she is looking forward to it. May bring one or two of my other sisters, if they're in town, if that's OK. We've all inherited our late mother's green thumb! Really looking forward to this!

Hey there yourself! Here are my two interrupted leaf varieties... the Victoria Gold Bells you helped me select at Searles and the Mother and Daughter (which I originally thought was Green Bells, and then Appendiculatum, but learned on here that since the leaves are purple/green, it is Mother...

Would anyone be able to i.d. this plant? It's a beautiful, very large planting in a restricted area that I enjoy seeing every day on my way to work. Today, landscapers were busily manicuring the area, and one of them was kind enough to grant my request for cutting. Yea!!

It was such an honor to be able to hear Dr. Brown's lecture this past weekend, and to meet him in person. I was just getting the courage to pose a question about "sports" on crotons (as this was something I had not yet quite understood), when Dr. Brown gave a little lesson on it. Interested to...

I would love to be included.

Duke of Windsor is already at the top of my list! This is one of the plants I purchased at Searle's.

Here is my "Mango." I was wondering if this was the correct name, because I couldn't find it on the encyclopedia page, or Dr. Brown's book.

Thanks! Happily, "Queen Victoria" was on my wish list... all potted up this morning, and also trying some leaf cuttings for the first time.

I'm trying to get over my embarrassment for mislabeling my plants :( (By the way, how long can I use the excuse of being a newbie???) I went back to my favorite nursery where I purchased these plants, to see where i went wrong on the Magnificent labeling. I think the correct name is...

OK - here goes... took some photos this morning. Zanzibar in a container garden, Magnificient, Mrs. Iceton and Piecrust. These are pretty much my first foray into the croton world, (and they are still very little plants) so thought they should be given the honor of the first photos submitted.
