Amazing Collection #1

in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms

Featured Replies

I was down in the Florida Keys to go fishing last weekend & stopped to visit a few friends gardens. Both are avid Croton heads & their collections are just awesome examples of what a little heat, humidity & TLC can do to these amazing plants. Enjoy the plant porn. :mrlooney: These are from one collection & some are the owners own creations. I'll post the other collection separately.

    I had gathered from previous croton threads that you had lots of them over there, they seem very happy there! I would love to to come over there as well, unfortunately it's not going to happen any time soon though. I will be in touch if and when I do though!!

    That's it for this garden. :greenthumb: I thought my head would explode from all the color. These amazing plants are on raised beds with soil that was brought in along with a drip for each plant.

    Jerry, by the way, is an IPS member who attended the Thailand Biennel. He does not visit Palm Talk that I know of.

    Randy - how about collection #2 ?

    If its the collection I am thinking of, they are IPS members as well. Also Thailand Biennel attendees.
