This last one is very cool. Keep an eye on that and see how it develops.Here is a updated photo of the larger leaf sport removed from my White Baby Doll.
I have seen that on other types of Cordylines, but not this kind.
I've been on the croton forum for only a couple months, but i have enjoyed Ti plants for many years. (I had no idea this discussion was here until just now - cool!) My first Ti plant was obtained about 15 years ago when I complimented a lady in church who was assigned to put together altar flowers, and then dismantle the arrangements after the service to share with hospital patients. As she was taking apart the arrangement, she pulled out a cutting of a Ti which she had used as an accent. I was immediately drawn to the beautiful pink/green lush leaves. She handed it to me and said "put this in the ground wherever you want it to grow." I did that, and from there I've shared and shared from that plant and it is also in several spots in my yard. I've added a few different varieties - sherbet, black spoon, purple prince (and a few others of which I cannot remember their names...) Since I've been adding crotons, I've been pondering how to mix the two in the garden. Your pictures are beautiful, and I wll use these as inspiration. I was at Dr. Brown's last lecture at the beginning of the month, thinking him to be the croton guru - but learned he is also a Ti guru. He showed off some beauties. Thanks for posting all your nice pictures!
If you're good at Photoshopping, you wouldn't even have to drop by.Amazing stuff Dypsisdean. Wish I could drop by and use those for a tiki picture or two.
