Hi, I'm Russ Hammer in Sanford/Lake Mary area, basically the 'cold north' compared to most of the folks on this forum I have major collections of
aroids and sansevierias, collecting since the mid-1970s. I've had a small collection of codiaeums for many years, member of the Croton Society for some years altho I think I've accidentally let it expire... gotta rejoin ASAP.
I visited my parents yesterday in Cocoa Beach and on the way I dropped by Rockledge Nursery on US 1. Found a number of nice crotons there that
had no labels but I was assured by attendants that they were named varieties. Anyone know who the croton supplier is for Rockledge Gardens? Must have a nice collection based on available varieties there, it'd be nice to know a croton-head locally if they're in fact in my area.
I bought some unnamed crotons some years ago from the Croton Society booth at either USF at Tampa or Selby Botanic Garden. Some names are obvious, like Ovalifolium, Franklin Roosevelt, but other IDs have confounded me. I'll attempt to post pics.
Some of you in the south may have heard of my brother, Roger Hammer, a long-time naturalist for Date County.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any ID's you can provide, nice to know all of you.
