Czar Alexander

This croton originated from the Mary Hayward Garden. It came to me through Bob Alonzo and he was pretty sure that this is it, but not 100%. Looking in the book for comparison, it's close or similar, but would like to know from others what you think. Czar Alexander is pretty rare and not very commonly seen.

 

I was bidding on one supposedly at the recent croton meeting, and won, but i was sadden to find out later from Bob Alonzo that it most likely wasn't Czar Alexander, but just some other croton

very nice!

 

I was bidding on that croton, you still got a great deal because you hardly ever
see that croton.

 

Rob,

I remember that cutting. I personally didn't think much of it and thought at the moment it didn't look like anything close to this plant of mine. Can you post a picture of it maybe just so others can see it and offer their thoughts? Also to compare w/ the picture in the book. Thanks, and no hurry.

 

Rob, Can you post a shot of your Croton?

 

Good idea, I totally forgot on how it looked.

 

its in a bag being rooted now, will have to wait until I take it out.

 

Rob - did the cutting take? My inquiring croton mind would like to know.
