Description
I am a big soccer fan, (possibly fanatic is a better word!) I'm not sure who else would look at this image and see a stadium of fans dressed in their team colors. They mingle. They share the joy of the atmosphere, the thrill of the competition. They are intense and vibrant. It brings joy to many. I can almost hear this crowd cheer!
Croton are members of the Euphorbiaceae family of plants, which makes them relatives of the poinsettia and the cast iron plant. All parts of this plant are poisonous—especially the seeds—so it is not recommended for use in homes with curious pets or children. When damaged, the plant produces a milky sap that can be irritating to the skin, too. Croton, also called “garden croton,” are native to the tropical forests of southeast Asia and Oceania. In the wild, they grow as large shrubs, reaching up to 10 feet tall!
Codiadeum variegatum
‘Petra’ is a popular cultivar. It has green leaves with red, orange, and yellow veins.
‘Gold Star’ has green leaves that are splashed with bright gold “stars.”
‘Eleanor Roosevelt’ has skinny leaves that range in color from burgundy to lime green. The leaves are mottled with bright yellow, as if they were spray painted.
‘Oakleaf’ has oak leaf–shaped dark green or bronze leaves with veins in yellow, orange, and red.

Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
