I've missed the last few croton get-togethers. I'll be checking on the details as I'd love to attend:D

What a wonderful croton gathering today at Ana and Bert's lovely Sarasota home. Many, many thanks to Ana and Bert for welcoming us and sharing your magnificent garden of CROTONS, palms, butterfly/bird attracting plants, and all things tropical. And the beautiful and peaceful pond. Oh my! The...

My excitement is barely being contained over the upcoming croton auction/meeting at Ana's!!! I got a nice croton (and palm) fix at Searle's sale last week. My sister, Chris, and I will be coming over together. I will be bringing southern cole slaw. I've messaged you, Ana, for your address...

Thanks for posting - I was wondering if the sale was going forward. I hope to be there tomorrow!!!

That's another beautiful Ti!

Thankfully, the storm has passed with no major damage here in northern PBCounty. This is a lesson to me to get my crotons ...and Palms and Ti plants :) in the ground. Moved lots and lots of potted plants out of harm's way yesterday. Sure do hope everyone here fared well through the storm!

I agree with you Dean. The deep, dark colors are so dramatic in the garden.

I sure hope Mark Peters has this cultivar at the Mounts Botanical Sale coming up next month!

Thanks for posting these recent pics, Scott. So beautiful. I am really drawn to the pic #1 in the first post, with the deep purple hue.

Good morning all. Any help identifying this young palm would be appreciated. Old story...purchased very young palm and kept potted till large enough to plant in the ground and lost the tag along the way. Hope to plant soon, but want to refresh my knowledge of growth habit, etc. Thanks...

Hi to all of the croton friends here... :D I have missed participating in the various plant shows, get togethers, sales, etc. of late, and so I'm excited to learn of the upcoming sale/auction/tour at Anna's on the west coast. Thanks for agreeing to host, Anna! Yay!!! I'm truly looking...

Brenda - that is a very nice offer! Thank you. If you have a division in the spring, I will be excited to give it a good home. I sure hope I'll be able to share some crotons with you next week. Looking forward to meeting you!

Good luck on these. I've been getting so interested in palms lately. Was thumbing through my newly purchased Palm book and saw a picture of one. Found incredibly beautiful pics online. I'm told there's a water feature area including one of these at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando.

Jerry, I look forward to meeting you and Brenda at croton gathering soon. In the meantime, many blessings to you both as you journey together through the clinical trials, treatment and Brenda's ultimate return to full and complete recovery. All the best, Leslie, Palm Bch Gdns

Came across this thread in a search for lipstick palm. Scott - did you have any success with this palm? I wonder if anyone grows C. renda here in South FL?

:)A few air layers for the auction. I still consider myself a newbie truly enjoying growing my croton collection. Hope to share these with other newbies who might not yet have these cultivars. Looking forward to the tour, auction and potluck!!!

Buttercup and Schotzie #4 - checking out a Ti - "Dr. Frank Brown."

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting Searle's Plant Extravaganza yesterday and purchased these palms: Areca catechu var. 'Semi Dwarf' Beccariophoenix madagascariensis Carpoxylon macrospermum Cyphophoenix nucele Licuala grandis Licuala peltata var. sumawongii Spindle The Spindle Palm is the only one...

Wow - the Plant Extravaganza is becoming quite the happening! I was happy to be able to go yesterday. The only croton buddy I got to say a quick "hi" to was Judy (who I had every intention of returning to for a chat, but I missed her on the way out :-( ...saw Jeff but he was busily educating...

:)Didn't think I could make the sale this time, but looks like I'll be in Miami today; so, SIDE TRIP - Yay!!! Please tell me there's some goodies left...
