Is this the start of a bloom? I couldn't find any pictures online that showed what this type of Croton looks like when it blooms.   |

| I was able to find some pictures, but they were deep within other topics on another gardening forum, so I didn't link anything. But, it looks like from what I've gathered, those are the blooms. Not quite what I'd expect. |

| Yes, those are definitely Croton flowers. Not particularly attractive, but they do serve an important reproductive function for the Croton. Will Creed Horticultural Help, NYC www.HorticulturalHelp.com Contact me directly at [email protected] I now have a book available on indoor plant care |

| Very cool! I've never seen blooms on Gold Dust Croton (Codiaeum variegatum 'Aureo Maculatum') I hope you will add a photo or two to the database since we currently don't have any bloom photos for that one! I've never seen blooms on Gold Dust over the years but I have had other varieties produce blooms: ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| I used to have the Gold Dust Croton and never saw any blooms. Yours must be very happy with your care. Handcrafted Coastal Inspired Art SeaMosaics! |

| It kind of creeps me out! I saw it out of the corner of my eye and thought it was some sort of pest infestation. Was somewhat relieved to see it was a growth, albeit and kind of unsettling looking one lol... It's been rotated into the prized spot on my kitchen window sill, where every plant goes to thrive. All of the kitchen plants get a turn in that window because no one is special enough to have it full time ;) |
