    Autonomy, but will you weigh in?

    In any case. Beautiful job on the wiki Anna.

    Autonomy, but will you weigh in?

    It doesn't make much difference to me either way. The large pics take a little longer to load on my computer. On my phone the pictures load at their maximum size anyway. When I click to enlarge in caribbean star the picture remains the same size just in another frame. In buddy nothing...

    Forum Site Issues

    Sounds good to me. I know I don't post a lot but I am willing to learn a new system. I suppose you will be able to "merge" the old program with the new so that all the old info and threads will still be available. Hope it's not too much work for you.

    Bakers Dozen +1

    Yeah Anna I'm with you. 3rd one I think will be the brightest red. And the last one is from another cross and I don't have a clue. Elanor Fischler does stand out. the male was chilpan x jungle queen and I think these seedlings show some of the chilpan lineage.

    I think there are pinks and reds in here, not to mention a spotted green or two.

    Bakers Dozen +1

    Here's a group that numbers about 14 now. Some have potential. I call them Bakers Dozen. My water quality is terrible and leaves a haze on the leaves but here goes. They're a cross of Eleanor Fischler and one of my seedlings. The last one came from another cross so +1. Jerry I thought you...

    Peach Keen

    Don't know if this one deserves the name. When this happens do we need a vote?

    Madam Butterfly

    Anna, I can't tell you much about it. It seems pretty slow and for me it tends to lose leaves but still remains fairly attractive. I got Mine at Rick lietners from Keith a couple of years ago and it's still in a pot and in need of repotting. Oh and its never flowered for me so I can't tell...

    Croton scale - what's working

    I've never seen a fire ant on a croton. And since UF and the state of Florida have been releasing phorid flies that are native to the fire ants origins, I haven't seen a fire ant anywhere in Florida in years. Not to say they're not around, just not around here. The flies, and there are many...

    Forum Name Change

    For advertising purposes it makes sense because somebody looking for all kinds of tropicals might end up here. you kept the croton society as is and the rest of the forums stayed the same. You run This site very well Dean. You need to do what you have to do. I would hate for you to have to...

    Hybridizing

    Oh, and Anna, sometimes you have to settle with what parents you use, You can use any crotons' pollen on any other croton. Sometimes you won't get seeds but try it again and you might. If there are several different cultivars of male flowers I sometimes will use all different kinds on one...

    Hybridizing

    Anna..It's pretty straight forward. When the female flowers are open and have their 3 stigmas spread they are receptive. They might be receptive for a week. Then there is, what for me, can be a problem. You have to have pollen and many times when a male flower is open it doesn't seem to...

    Things are really looking good there. I especially like the potential of your Bob Bullock cross.

    Color My World

    Now that I've pulled on every leaf of every croton in Rons yard I feel much better now. He gets so irritated by that. He gave me avocados so I would go away.

    Color My World

    Anna, I'm sorry. I'm going to have to start paying more attention to who is writing the thread. I thought I was commenting on Ron's comments and not yours. I hope that's ok. I'm heading over to his house in a little bit and see what all the fuss is about.
