    Phil, I was doing a little Cordyline research and found the Crotons. I thought the Croton Heads would enjoy the illustrations. I need now to restock the ink in my color printer and print the pictures.

    Anyone know if the Gigantea Rosea is still around? With another name perhaps?

    Question Re: Gorden Gee Illustrations from the 1960s

    I know this has been discussed before. It was mentioned prior that "WTF" could possibly be Strawberry. Based on the description, some said no. Only a black & white photo was found in Exotica. Now Scott has dug up this illustrated colored print of Strawberry. Based upon Scott's finding, perhaps the discussion may be worthy of being reopened?

    Moose, I am really really bad at the ID thing.IMO I do not think "WTF" looks like Strawberry.
