The Croton Garden of Robert Heredia

[Jeff in Costa Rica]

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 looked amazing to me! He pointed out and told me the names of many of the cultivars, but others are a mystery to him. I know Bob would appreciate any help with identification or to confirm the names of ones that he has identified.

First a few group photos. He calls this hillside planting his "Mixed Croton Salad Garden". He has even more Crotons growing all around his property. Also as you can see he has quite a nice container ranch.
