    Mr. Jeff Searle… many thanks for chiming in with your observations that have been duly noted in my Croton Photo Files and for now, will be named Eburneum aka Tamara.

    Thanks Marie and Hello VeroKarl... many thanks for noting your experiences and posting your fotos for all to appreciate and hopefully contribute to the discussion. Here's looking forward to some of the "Croton Masters" out there weighing-in adding their observations and/or tips :).

    EBURNEUM (MADAGASCAR), TAMARA, LUCHA or OTHER?

    Thanks Marie, Tamara it shall be... perhaps "in person" I could better see the difference. Comparing the two in the WIKI MASTER NAME LIST FOTOS they look almost identical to me :(. Robertico

    EBURNEUM (MADAGASCAR), TAMARA, LUCHA or OTHER?

    I found these two beauties in a local nursery but I’m not sure what I’ve got… Eburneum (Madagascar), Tamara, Lucha or something else? I have compared them with WIKI MASTER NAME LIST FOTOS but I cannot for the life of me, definitely I.D. them. Perhaps I can eliminate Lucha? What hints can anyone...

    ROBERTICO’S CROTONS IN THE COSTA RICAN LANDSCAPE – PART 07

    Folks… please bear with me on this episode where I tried to have some “artistic” fun. I found this nice back yard Croton container garden and with the owner’s permission I took some liberties with photo # 49 by arranging the cultivars in a circular pattern around a Philodendron. After...

    Is this the tallest Croton you've seen?

    A quick scan of my Costa Rica Croton Wanderings files produced these cultivars which are at least 14 to 15 plus feet tall… enjoy. :)

    NEED ONE I.D. & ONE CONFIRMATION PLEASE

    Images 01-02-03 & 04: I can’t find this recurved leaf Croton in the WIKI NAME AND IMAGE LIST… to me, this cultivar very much resembles Volutum aka Rams Horn except its coloration and the leaves do not manifest small scoops. The ones I have run into here in Costa Rica have reddish-orange colored...

    ROBERTICO’S CROTONS IN THE COSTA RICAN LANDSCACPE – PART 06

    I’ll start this installment with a partial quote from the WIKI MASTER NAME AND PHOTO LIST. “There exists a controversy regarding this croton. Some think Satan and Irene Kingsley are the same cultivar with two different names …” In addition to file photos 41 thru 45 I am attaching photos...
