(Help, I can't remember the name. Is this Croton?) Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh.

Panther has two photos of Croton recently uploaded ~
one with flowers, one without, so that may help you. :o)

Yippee! Knew I'd know it, really! Many Thanks, Tt!

Panther was in the back of my mind for this one! Saved me a trip to the garden centre!/supermarket I love the "rainbow" colours (a throw-back to the "Wiz of Oz"), but I never saw one 12ft tall, b4!

Glad to be of help.
Panther has some super photos

Eilidh might fancy liquorice as well as chocolate after she's seen my latest pic. :o)

Yes, it looks like a type of croton. Although I don't think I have seen this particular type before. I have some in my yard. I have seen them become bushes about 5 ft tall.

I wish we could grow these outdoors here, Gardengem, they're so colourful!

Tt! - My wife is a liquorice fiend, will have a look at your pic now.

careful if you get a croton...that Rags and Lucky don't try to sample... it's another poisonous plant.

Many thanks for that warning, Lori!

Better check on the liquorice photo before Scotkat eats the lot. LoL

Hi David, yes that looks a Croton Plant to me, something similar to what I have. Actually there are various types of crotons which comes in different leaf shapes and colours, they love the warm climate and flowers when the weather is at its warmest, which is what we are experiencing right now until the month of March.
Thanks TT for your kind comments:-)
