Ah yes my clivia is one of my raffle table plants that I brought home from a HGA meeting this past summer. I was very pleased to see it bloom. I understand that they thrive on neglect it was one of the plants that wasn't stressed at all while I was away. LOL
The croton is one of the plants I brought home from Fl. last month, thanks for the warning I'll be sure to keep an eye on it. This is my first croton. I haven't quite been able to get rid of the scale on the Plume Flower, it came with the plant but luckily it hasn't spread to any of the other plants so far. I saw what looks like a very good recipe using neem oil that I want to try but I have several bottles of insecticide that I wanted to use up first. Not that they have done much but for some reason I can't seem to throw them out half full. I just finished one a couple of weeks ago and the other this morning. I 'm going to check one of the local nurseries first but there is a Neem Co-op going on right now.
Here is a picture of my Prince of Orange blooming.
