In looking in the book they both caught my eye
In looking in the book they both caught my eye
Crossroad ? In which book ? I do not recall this being in Crotons of the World. Actually I do not recall ever hearing about it either.
Hey, old timers - any help ?
Crossroad Page 18,it was incorrectly listed as unnamed hybrid
Crossroad is a sport on stoplight if I am correct

I also just found another one to be highly questionable.
In the correction list, page 18-LR, it says it should be Crossroads, a sport from Stoplight. That's all fine, and looking at the above picture that Bud posted, it does look like it has Stoplight written all over it. BUT, his picture and the picture on page 18, are two totally different looking plants. At least to me. What do others think?
The photo I posted is absolutely a sport from a stoplight and yes it is in a bad spot and has been thru several cold winters in western palm beach.The sport was air layered from a 7 foot stoplight I removed from someones yard.
I've added these comments to the UNOFFICIAL CORRECTION LIST in the Wiki....Well, I disagree on at least two of these. ( I know, here we go again).
The first, page 18-UR, can't be a White Polychrome, Polychrome has shoulders and the croton in the picture clearly dosen't. It's a White Gloriosa, straight out of the Hayward's Garden.
And the second, page 54-LR, I still believe to be the correct Dreer #7. I have a Rapture and took it to the Glock's meeting this past December where Bob A. and Mark H. positively identified it as such. Their a little close, but side by side, their two worlds away.
