Jim & Judy's Keys Gems

I was fortunate to visit Jim & Judy at their Keys home last week while on the International Palm Association biennial (Key West free day portion). Tim from the Audobon House & Judy piled our group of Jeff, Andrea, Me & our visitors from around the U.S. & Australia into 2 cars for the 20 minute ride to the Glock's. It looked like clown cars, with everyone exiting at the Glock's for some burgers & a tour. I ran around & took some photos before dark.

 

Remember, these are "Keys Grown". Your results may vary.

 

Many thanks to Judy & Jim their usual hospitality

 

Woohoo!!! Great photos, Randy, of gorgeous crotons! Thank-you so much. Judy, now all we need is names, please!

 

What a treat to see the Glock's beautiful plants! Thanks for posting Randy.

 

Great work, the Glocks for growing and Randy the pics are just to much. It really is a must do trip. . Thank you Randy

 

What is #4 in Post#1?

 

Ron, I was thinking that might be Jackpot, but I've never seen it in person, so I'm not sure. Amazing, though, isn't it? Juuuudyyyyyy......

 

Yes, I believe it's Jackpot.

 

No wonder it caught my eye. I remember seeing Jackpot in Jeff's collection - my begging for a rooted cutting fell on deaf ears.

Post #3 photo #2 is Pam Kiefert coming along

 

Could i ask what is #8 in post 2 ?? fabulous plants !!!!!!!!

 

David, not sure, but it might be C&B. Juuuuuuuuuudddyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

 

Randy, could you put the names of the ones you remember? Is that gorgeous thing in post 2 #7 a Davis 87? Wow. And #10 in post 2 is that Robert Halgrim or Three Toes?

 

Anna, I'm fairly certain that #7 is Father's Day, maybe Columbiana. #10 is definitely Robert Halgrim

 

Stunning CROTON specimens…thanks to the Glock’s for sharing and Randy the photographer. When “I grow up” I hope to have something similar on my mini- ranch. I’m working on it, lol !

 

Oh, ok Tim. We really need Judy before I botch up the documentation of her beautiful plants!

 

Post #2 Photo #8 sure looks like a C&B to me

 

Thanks, Randy for posting some of our Keys crotons!
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply with names, but we went to Cuba right after the Biennial and then I got slammed at work when we returned home!

Saw a lot of crotons in Cuba. Almost every home in the country had some in their front yard. We were not able to get many photos, as the bus was going to fast.

 

Thanks so much, Judy! Hope your trip was wonderful.

 

The Blotched Reubens in Post #3 Photo #3 looks spectacular !!!

 

The plants are looking beautifully.....as always. Thanks for putting the pic's up, Randy.
