Thank you, Veterans and families, for your sacrifices and service!
With all of the glorious colors outside at this time of year, it's nice to think of having this kind of color inside all year long. This carnival in a single pot, a croton, was seen over the weekend at Molbak's Nursery. How beautiful is that? Can you imagine living in a tropical climate where these grow outside? Crotons hate being moved and it's normal for them to drop some or all of their leaves when moving them is necessary, like when you bring one home. I've seen these grown beautifully but also have seen a lot of sad leggy specimens with just a few leaves at the top but have never grown one myself.

Molbaks had a nice big display of a wide variety of these beauties and while all were beautiful this red, orange, chartreuse, green, fuchsia and purple marvel was my favorite. Not wanting to live in my cold and drafty old house, it asked to be left at the nursery for more skilled hands to nurture.
Have you grown these? If so, what was your experience?
Just for fun.
