Last week I stopped by Bob Heredia's place to check on some Dictyocaryum lamarckianum seedlings that he is taking care of for me. In exchange, Bob will receive half of the palms to plant in his garden and the other half will be planted at my friend's house which is located nearby. These are...

I took these photos last week when I was in San Jose. I'm sure it's a common one, but I love Crotons with a lot of red in them.

The place where we had the palm meeting did not have a lot of Crotons but they did have this nice one that had a few forked leaves.

Angela, the pink one is one of my favorites too. On the way to Lake Arenal this weekend, I stopped at a restaurant for lunch and found this Croton growing out front. It had a mixture of long leaves and round leaves. I have never seen anything like this one before.

Hey Bren! I'm doing good, but I've been busy lately. In the morning I am going to Lake Arenal for the weekend for a palm meeting. I will be sure to take lots of Croton pics too! Even though I can't name any of them... I owe a few people some "sticks" from Costa Rica, I will work out...

A friend of mine lives down the beach from me at this older hotel. The view from her apartment looks out to the beach and ocean, but the sideview looks down on a carpet of yellow Crotons. This hotel has used thousands of them planted throughout the property. As usual they are mostly the same...

We use Crotons all over the property to prevent erosion. We had many problems in this area last October when we received over 50 inches of rain in 5 days. This entire hillside collapsed and had to be rebuilt with retaining walls. The gardeners take cuttings and just stick them in the side of...

These two are growing in a planting bed near the front of my house.

I toured a local rental home today and noticed that they had some nice Crotons growing around the driveway.

Some friends of mine from PA are visiting right now. They rented a house located down the beach from me and I got a chance to see the garden for the first time today. As we were walking down the trail to the beach, I noticed this Croton with the largest Oak Leaf shaped leaves I have ever seen...

Bob, it was nice visiting you again a few weeks ago. You did a great job with the photos! You have some amazing Crotons that I have never seen anywhere else. I hope you get some help identifying your unknown ones.

Crotons on the Negril Lighthouse grounds

You can see someone is air layering this first Croton

I recently took these photos in Negril Jamaica. Crotons are very popular there.

Thanks Ron. I especially like Croton #1. It reminds me of the Croton in post 53 and 54, but with a different leaf shape.
