OOPS! Dean, I did not realize you are in Hawaii...is that correct? If so, a phone call would be totally out of time synchronization for either of us.

Thanks for the information. I will register for the Wiki, and greatly appreciate your assistance. In case I run into a problem, can I contact you by phone? My email address is nedge@tampabay.rr.com., if case you don't want to disclose your phone # to the whole world you can send it to me. Yes...

Take a look at this page. Unfortunately, it is a scan of a copy, not the original, but I think this may represent the worst-case scenario. At least it is readible. I have no problem with others inserting whatever copies they may have on a space you create, as long as there's no duplicates, and...

Thanks for the feedback from you & Lamar & Randy. Lamar has a good collection, in hard copy only, but one way or the other we can get them scanned as a PDF, if necessary. But they were done in Publisher, and some of the ones he has I also have and those I can convert to PDF. After I finish...

The newsletters came in several different types of formats, including PDF (later editions) as well as Microsoft Publisher files, (from when the newsletters were printed & mailed out to members) and the very earliest ones (If they can be found) were only scanned copies, and the quality is so-so...

I have received the green light from Lee & Connie, and I'm confident that Ray would have no objections as well. For those of you who have saved old editions of the newsletter, it would be very helpful to know what issues you have on hand, by year and volume number. That will help me identify...

Harold Lee, the co-founder of the Society (and the last President at the time the Society dissolved) had previously given me permission to post an article from a newsletter (I ended up posting the entire newsletter, because I couldn't separate the article from the PDF file). Lee's feeling was...

Is there any interest in seeing the digitalized versons of the Croton Society newsletters? If so, is there any spot on the website to accomodate them? If more info is needed re: size of the files, I can research that, but first I need to know what you think about the idea.

I go to Dolins frequently and I have seen the "fishbone" before. Not sure it's a Lillian though; doesn't look right. How about Florida Selecta? I recently told Don, the owner at Dolins the correct names for three crotons he had which were mislabeled. He has Dr. Brown's book and he saw the real...

Thanks Kurt & Ray for clearing up my confusion.

these photo reportedly show a White Charles Rutherfor and a Lt. Paget (notice the scalloped leaves). If these ID's are not correct, please, let me know

Sorry Marie, I couldn't tell much from your photo, especially since 25% appears to be missing. The white gloriosa on page 47 of Dr. Browns book is what I'm looking at for a guide. However, my mystery croton doesn't look anything like that, except for an older leaf, which is barely visible. I'm...

oops, forgot to add the question; does the photo in my previous post look like a white gloriosa

Any location works for me, but I vote for May instead of April

Anna, I have a copy of a Croton Society newsletter with an article about this subject. See attachment

If you Google "ants be gone" you will find a number of homemade recipes. I am currently trying an equal mixture of baking soda with finely powdered confectioner's sugar, mixed thoroughly with a litle water to form a paste. Supposedly, the ants can't tell the soda from the sugar and will devour...

How does the Seminole Pride differ from Diane? Or is it the same Croton?

Anna, your pond is beautiful. I can easily picture Claude Monet busy at work doing a painting of it, like he did of ones in France.

Phil, Keith & I will attend

great collection...especially the Thai croton in the first group
