interesting seedlings

[kwtimo]

I do weekly garden maintenance at a property in Shark Key, and have been watching these seedlings developing within very close proximity to an AFD#5. All four were growing within 10 feet of each other from the parent croton without any care, and not much irrigation. There are more seedlings that are present, but they do not exhibit any real color characteristics yet so I left them to develop. They haven't stressed too much from the transplant either. Should be interesting to see these develop over time. I am amazed at the diversity that can be produced from seedlings.

Wow, Tim, those are really cool! I especially love the first one. Please keep showing us as the year progresses and they grow bigger. Thanks.

I started this thread over a year ago, and thought I would post the progress of these seedlings. Some have really changed dramatically, and I am amazed at the differences in 8 inch plants to 4 ft plants in 3 gal. I will separate the posts by the individual seedlings. This one reminds me a bit of Dr. Alix. I put the original picture of the seedling to show the change, and there is also a pic of the current plant with one of the original leaves of the croton on it.

This one is not a real different or unique. I've been debating of whether to hold on to it or not. If it holds the pink coloring on the older leaves, I'll keep it going. At one point last year, I cut a good size piece of the top of and shoved it into the pot. It didn't skip a beat.

This one is starting to look like Fishbone, but with smaller leaves for now.

OK Forrest, crotons are like a box of chocolate. I can't give up on any of them they just sit over in the corner, and I keep hoping. They look good to me, some of the old varieties aren't all that great. Keep up the good work. I will post a pic .. Of my little twins same seed pod growing very nicely.

Gosh Tim, congrats! They all look great. I haven't had any seeds sprout and has been a few weeks... possibly the medium they're in is a little too compact, but going to give them some time.... haven't given up on them.

Nice, Tim. I especially like the one in photos 2/3/4. Nice leaf shape and color.

Looking good there Tim!
