End-of-Spring in N.E. Downunder - Codiaeum variegatum or Croton is blooming

really nice plant...

The foliage tends to overshadow the lovely flower sprays.

i like the foliage too, pity about overshadowing tho but i guess once one knows then one knows where to look...thank you for all these lovely photos...iam pleased i logged in :-)

Mine are still blooming, also. Do your plant bloom all year, there?

Andy, they do bloom in cycles all year round, but it seems to be dependent on the length and severity of our dry and wet seasons. When the dry is relatively short and not as severe, meaning we get a few showers during those months, then they bloom a few more times in the year. If the wet is longer and begins sooner, we get more blooms.

so pretty......

Yes these long flower sprays look so lovely, thanks Milky.

Bernieh:

Yes, they seem to bloom when they receive regular watering. In the past I always though they were extremely drought tolerant. This is definitely not the case here. They will wilt if not given enough water.
