ardesia said:I forgot to add that I had originally bought my Zanzibar (or brilliantwhatsamacallit) as a tiny Angel plant from Lowe's. It was in a little 2" pot and that was at least 10 years ago.
Alice that is amazing! I do love that plant glad you posted an update photo of it. You reminded me I have one of those little Angel plants I bought about a year ago at Lowe's, so I just checked on it, doing well, at least three times the size now. Mine is 'Bush on Fire'
Some older Crotons I just took pics of
This one was tagged Sloppy Painter
Franklin Roosevelt (This one so beautiful in cooler weather)
Yellow Mammy with some sunburn spots
Mammy This is pretty hardy so I have it in the ground
Fantasy, also known as AFD # 5 (New growth kind of boring right now) Also will sunburn easy and doesn't like the cold.
Freckles - This can take some good sun
Zanzibar (This has a Coleus in the pot too, had to move it out of the way to see plant) I've had mine for two years, been through two winters, I just toss a frost blanket over it if we dip below 35, it did fine, but we only had a few nights that cold past two years. Gets some good sun in late afternoon, shaded rest of the day.
Piecrust (small plant I bought this past March, still little rooting but getting new growth now)
Victoria Gold Bell Kind of boring now, but second photos you can see old growth with colors, this another pretty fall/winter plant
I have more but they are too green and boring right now.
