The story I heard is that rainwater collects in the wells of the leaves. Thirsty travelers could cut a leaf, turn it upside down and have a drink of water. What other explanation did you hear?

Dean, luckily they are very inexpensive here. :)

Yesterday I was driving outside of town on my way to the gas station and I passed by a local nursery. I saw flashes of Croton color, so on my way back I had to stop. I ended up with these four. Any id's would be appreciated. First all four

He also had some all green ones

I know this is a common one, but I thought it looked cool in a mass planting. Photos were taken today at my friend's farm.

And here's another one that I photographed today. This one looks familar. Is it a named Croton? It has very long leaves.

Jeff, I will see what I can do about getting a cutting of that one. Most of his Crotons are monstrous in size, but this one is not very big yet. I might be able to get a cutting or two. Here's the size of most of his Crotons - this one appears dark purple/black.

A photo of the front gate to my friend's farm. I love his two Traveler's Trees!

I had a chance to check out my friend's Zamia today. Last year it had 3 cones, this year there is only one so far. It had a new flush of leaves and looked great!

A few more photos of this Croton...

I was back out at my friend's farm today and noticed this Croton. Can anyone ID this one?

Thanks Dean for posting the link. Excellent job Dan! I really enjoyed the slides and commentary.
