Gorgeous Croton Plants

 These two Croton plants started from small plants in 5 inch pots many years ago.  They spend the winter in the house every year and the rest of the year outside on the front porch.  Five years ago I left them out too long and they lost all of their leaves in a frost.  Luckily the plants recovered.  They are always very colorful but this summer, they are displaying a generous helping of bright yellow leaves.  They are so large now, we have to use a hand-truck to move them into the house.
