    A few Croton photos from this afternoon

    I took a few Croton photos today as I was walking back from lunch. I noticed them growing along the road in front of a restaurant. The first one was flowering.

    Unusual looking Croton

    I was walking through the garden today and noticed this odd looking Croton with a mixture of different leaf sizes and shapes. Thought maybe some of you would find it interesting. Sorry the first photo is blurry.

    Another visit to Bob Heredia's Croton Garden

    Last week I stopped by Bob Heredia's place to check on some Dictyocaryum lamarckianum seedlings that he is taking care of for me. In exchange, Bob will receive half of the palms to plant in his garden and the other half will be planted at my friend's house which is located nearby. These are...

    Huge Oak Leaf - is this a named Croton?

    The Croton Garden of Robert Heredia

    I met Bob through PalmTalk and discovered that Crotons are his passion. I was in San Jose at the beginning of this week and he was kind enough to invite me to his house to see his Croton collection. Bob lives at 5,000 ft elevation and growing Crotons there can be a challenge, but they still...

    Unusual looking Crotons

    I flew over to San Jose on Saturday and then flew back to Quepos today. While at the Pavas Airport, I noticed these Crotons growing near the entrance to the front door. I started looking a little closer and noticed some strange shaped leaves. Not all of the leaves were shaped like this, but...

    New Crotons, and some older ones

    I've been buying small crotons whenever I see something interesting in the local nurseries. I don't know the names of any of them as the nurseries don't put tags on them. When you ask for a name, the answer always is "it is a Croton" :rolleyes: Here are a few that I collected this summer...
