    Hurricane Irma getting closer

    I have been thinking about Tim and the Jim/Judy as well. I hope they evacuated and did not have as much damage as I am afraid they could. I know some areas of the keys made out much better than others. Let us know if you here anything.

    Hurricane Irma getting closer

    Just got back to Vero and house is fine, power just came back on a few hours ago, but the gardens took a beating. As I expected most crotons were knocked over and several trees and large shrubs are down as well. Have one day to try to rescue as many plants as I can before school starts back up...

    Hurricane Irma getting closer

    The campus is closed at 4 today, so no parent orientation tomorrow night. Need to keep watching and make the final decision of whether we head North or not. Half of the shutters are up, the rest go up this afternoon. Need to bring all the plants under cover and pack away the hundreds of plastic...

    Hurricane Irma getting closer

    Looking worse not better. especially down in your area and all along the east coast. Was keeping my fingers crossed that it would swing east into the ocean and not hit us, but that looks less likely. I guess it is still early enough that anything is possible. I was counting on the most...

    Marie, great color on your plants. Mine is not as bright so might not be getting as much sun, but it is still a beautiful and vigorous plant. So glad I got it at the last auction.

    Quirko

    Hi Ana, sorry for the wording. I got that you were talking about sharing photos and info., I just got excited when you mentioned having cordylines because it is something I can easily propagate and share. I always feel a bit guilty that I have not started bringing any of my own crotons to the...

    Hi Melanie. Thanks for sharing the photos of Halloween. Now I am even more excited about having it, seeing the colors in full sun. Randy had told me it would color up nicely in sun and he was right. Glad to have you join us and share your photos. I was lucky enough to get several really special...

    Quirko

    Please let me know if there are any types of cordylines you are looking for (color, texture, size). I have found some to be much more vigorous than others. I chop down mine constantly and give them away. I would be happy to bring top cuttings to the next auction for you (most of mine came as...

    Thanks Marie, I went back through some old threads and did find an old photo from Ron and a bit of information. I have it in full sun, so hopefully will see some of the orange showing up once it has settled in. The plant I got from Randy is nicely sized so should give me a good start. I had...

    Quirko

    I saw Randy's Quirko when I visited him and it immediately became a must have plant. Great color and leaf shape on your specimen. One of many I will be watching for at Jeff's sale or the auction and hopefully adding to my garden. You have some great unusual varieties. Do you know how many named...

    Tommy Halgrim

    Your plant has great color. I had never really paid attention to it before. Sounds like this would be a perfect plant for the front of the garden. Thanks for sharing your photos, there are obviously many plants that I missed when I toured your garden before the auction. I should have paid more...

    Some unknowns in my garden

    What a great looking plant, both your plant and Ana's. Need to add it to my wishlist. Mike, do you have any photos of your Halloween you could share? I got one from Randy and just put it in the garden. He said it should get more color with the additional sun. Have you got a date yet for the...

    Hi Ana, Welcome back. I will try to get some other photos of Matchstick. Hopefully some of the other members can confirm if Mr. Hitchcock and Thomas Hitchcock are the same. I got it from David and he knows the history of his plant. I am pretty sure Randy kept his original Shoshanna. I could not...
