Nellie Halgrim was not so happy when I got home. Kinda droopy from mucho heat and no rain. Now I know how Ana is feeling about her garden this summer.

She got watered and perked up after a couple of hours.
 
What is the one on the right in post 24 called ? And big leaf one hanging over the fence in 6 ?? thanks Beautifull by the way ....

Davis #1 is fairly common to croton lovers, but not is not widely found as a typical landscape plant.

C. I. Craigin is found in around my area in landscapes, but there are many homes here from the 1930's and 40's. I actually got this plant as an air layer from a church several blocks away. It was growing behind the church's marquee and the maintenance people kept hacking at it every year. A couple of discreet air layers went unnoticed. Its still there getting hacked, its progeny is larger and looks better then the source plant.

What is the bottom right on 29 ...... i want one , that is killer

David - that is Robert Halgrim. Its pretty darn slow and does not want to branch. I reluctantly had to take off one growing point because it had turned green and would not color up. I waited a year, then snip. The emerging bud produced the desired variegated leaves. Notice I used the singular "bud".
