Nice photos Sergey.

 

Amazing photos and plants Sergey. Thanks for sharing.

 

OMG! WOW!

 

Sergay,
Chandra was visiting our garden in Miami today and I mentioned your pictures on the forum. He asked that I send you his regards. He was also talking about the huge size of croton leaves in Indonesia.

Thank you Marie! It’s a small world!

 

Today - the last portion of Indonesian photos. Thank you for your patience! It was a real pleasure to share my impressions with you!

#1 - I think it’s “Bush on Fire” or “Batik” but in Indonesia it’s called “Chilli Pepper”
What is the origin of this variety? What was the first name?

#2 The variety with small narrow leaves. In Dr. Frank Brown’s Book this variety has an id as “Philippinensis” p.117 and “Twist & Pont” p.130 – what is the correct name for this plant?

#1 - Mini Red Dragon
when size does matter

#2 Croton “Walet”

 

My last day in Indonesia I spent walking along “flowers” street in BSD. Two rows of garden shops, several kilometers long… and only common widespread crotons.

 

In the evening several hours before my flight to Thailand I found what I had been looking for…

 

Some more interesting and beautiful plants...

The second photo in post #72 is Anthurium 'Marie". My husband created the hybrid and named it after me. It has been very popular throughout Thailand and Indonesia as well as the US. When Chandra visited, he said to me that everyone in Indonesia knows my name.

 

Fantastic anthurium “Marie”!

 

Beautiful plants! Thank you for sharing the photos.

 

Allan, thanks for resurrecting this thread - truly a croton paradise!
Now if we can only figure out how to get some of those plants sent over here....

 

Peyton,
Chandra's nursery is at www.godongijo.com
