COLOURFUL CROTON WITH SURPRISE!


Don't think I was ever aware that Crotons actually produced a flower.......until I looked at this bush in my own back yard, when I noticed strange appendages hanging from the branches!  :)
It's a really pretty thing to look at right up close, and they are around 10 to 12 inches in length.
There would have been about eight hanging from the bush.
I'm constantly amazed at the beautiful colour display of this particular Croton at different times of the year!
