This is one of my hybrid croton seedlings,I taught myself how to pollinate these babies, couldn't find any pics on how to do it.The seeds didn't germinate till I learned to soak them overnight THEN plant.The seeds look just like miniature castor bean seeds.Same kind of seed pods, cept no spines on these.This seed was planted 7-06 and just now showing color.The pro's tell me now that they can take several years before the final true color comes out..so will see what we get.Has narrow leaves like the mother so far.Many have just green leaves with no markings so far.
