Very nice Dave great collection.

We have many here in the Philippines they grow well in the humidity.

Although we are lacking in our range of Sp here love to get some of the

ones in the pics.

A must companion planting in the palm garden.

Dave,

What great photos. I'm on the hunt for great Crotons.

After seeing those posted by Jeff and now yours, I better get going.

Thank you so very much. I need colour in my garden!

Colour, colour colour colour! :):):):)
