Once you learn how to post pictures it's easy... Impressive leaf! Got a shot of the whole plant?

Not highly domesticated???

Beautiful croton!

Beautiful shot with all those palms...

Nice - what's the light colored hedge in the front of the third photo?

Looks close, but the one in the book seems like slightly wider leaves and I don't see the heavy red and black on the older leaves like your plant has... I think your plant looks better than the one in the book, so very nice whatever it is :cool: And then again the differences could be all...

X = ? Reliance X Stoplight Pollinating Reliance flowers with Stoplight pollen yesterday and today... Hope some seeds set. I think this could be a good hybrid - both of these varieties tolerated some low temps and crowding in the greenhouse last winter with very little leaf drop.

Nice looking crotons, especially that second one - got a name?
