These were from a few weeks back so the plants have grown since, but have not had a chance to get out and take new photos. Starting with the first photo they are: Princess Eugenia, Amabile, Showgirl, Catch of the Day, Grenada with Baby Moose, and ADF 9. Behind Amabile and around Showgirl and...

I can't get over how beautiful your crotons are when grown inside. You also do a great job photographing them.

I have never shipped any plants just received them, so had no idea how much they regulate things like this. It is great that you will be able to share some of your crotons with Dimych. We are lucky here in Florida with the incredible variety we are able to get.

You can never have too many crotons!

Lamar, I need to experience your garden one of these days. I just finished grading exams and getting the final grades turned in, so am getting ready for summer vacation. Unfortunately got hit with a stomach bug just as I was finishing up and it doesn't seem to want to go away. This sudden summer...

I did a bit of research online and from what I found all plant material including seeds is prohibited unless it is being shipped from a company here to a company there for business purposes. Sending it to or from a private address is not allowed. It would all come down to how strict they are...

I believe Marie said she lost her Pam Kiefert. It was on my wish list and I am nearly positive she said she used to have it but it did not survive. It definitely is a special plant. Do you still have your plants Moose? I had seen in the post you had the one that was damaged and the backup plant...

I have a few areas where the water really collects during times of flooding and results in standing water for days in the garden. That did a job on crotons and many other plants in those areas, with several not surviving. I have lost more plants from flooding than anything else. Luckily most of...

Sorry, missed that it was the same plant in two different light conditions. I know crotons are like that. Beautiful in both conditions. While we do have some plants of Thai origin there are plenty that either don't do well here or have not found there way into the landscape.

Beautiful plants. I really like the solid dark leaved one. Different from anything I have. The Rex I have seen are very different. They may be a variety we don't have here.

Waterfall, Yellow Fever, Survivor, The Freak, and Red Spider.

Christian's Landscape, Yellow Mammie, Freckles (Hawaiian), Trinidad Interrupted, and Nestor (Pink Nestor).

Davis 87, Blotched Rubens, Dr. Seuss, and John Soar.

Above are some more close up photos of some of the crotons that are coloring up. They include a couple that I got as unknowns from one of Jeff's sales as well as Brandon James, Connie Cutler, and Colonel Lindbergh. The photos in the first post featured Lemon Top, and Mona Lisa and Helen Edge...

We have been lucky so far. I hope the water drains off before it does any root damage to your incredible crotons. I believe I remember you getting flooded before and everything seemed to survive well, so I hope this is the same.

Thanks so much. We are so lucky to have the perfect climate to grow all of these things here. When I lived in Rhode Island having a garden like this would have only been a dream. If you ever have a chance to get to Florida, you would really enjoy the botanical gardens as well as the gardens of...

My last thread from 2016 was getting a bit long so thought I would start a new one to share some photos from the garden this spring. I will slowly add to it as I have a chance to add more images.

I hope it is not going to be a problem for your crotons. I would not have even realized there was anything wrong with them, just would have assumed that was the color they are supposed to be. Good luck figuring out your mystery. It was a colder than usual winter at times here, so don't know if...
