    Blotched Cutler's Gulfstream

    Tim, I earnestly believe there may be a couple of specemins here in key west that I had taken air layers of in 1979. I suspect they may be on the 900 block of terry lane. Not certain, but I tried my best back then to identify the crotons Peggy had with dr brown's 60'' s book from the...

    Thank you all for further information, I really enjoy the history annd provenance of various rare, beatiful crotons. Being still a novice, after five years of collecting, now that I have developed a sharper eye for patterns and colors I realize a lot of the specimens I propagated from PEGGY...

    If? Than what?

    Thanks Scott for the last picture showing the whole plant. Very nice. Does my memory serve me right, that Roccio originated in thailand? (I could be wrong)..... But with that leaf shape and wonderful bright color it may be a door opening to some round leafed cultivars that will look...

    If? Than what?

    Hey Scott, I was curious... the plant in post 12 and 15 is the same plant, and has it been in the ground since August of 2012? Would kinda like to see a pic of the plant from a little distance. It appears to have a really vivid yellow, and a nice round round leaf shape.
