How about WTF Dreer?

Zadroga was a name made up by David McLean for a Croton he found growing in Mrs. Zadroga's backyard. The correct name is Mrs. WF Dreer.

Is this Nervia or Elaine or are they one and the same?

It looks like Clipper. I have a bunch of them in the ground in various sun and shade locations. Several look just like that.

Rex needs full sun for any color other than green. The first one is in full sun all day and gets plenty of water, although the soil is all sand. The next picture is a group of Rex in the ground 14 years. There's color, if you're standing on the roof looking down, but most of the leaves look like...

That is Suzi Silverado (aka something in the MacArthur Complex).

A massive Satan/Irene Kingsley underplanted with Bravo, showing lots of pink. The entire mass is 9 feet high and around 12 feet across. No sign of scale!

It's definitely not Buddy.

Holy Sh*t! Jerry, that first one is gorgeous. Damn you guys in the Keys, damn you I say! It's just not fair!

This sport is now 2 years old. It comes out full yellow and gradually fades to pink and orange. It's not the pale yellow that normally indicates a lack of chlorophyll. Jeff, I would agree with you except that this plant is on the south side of the garden, in a protected area, and is now hanging...

I'm going to throw and airlayer on it this afternoon. I can't believe it's December and I'm starting airlayers. The next 6 weeks better stay warm or I'm gonna have aluminum foil balls hanging all over the place until April.

In the sun and in the shade.

This a cutting from a Croton I bought over 12 years ago in a batch from Big Orange Nursery in Boynton Beach. None of them had names and they were priced at $5 each. I had this planted in deep shade and it lost most of its color. This cutting is on the north side of the garden and gets afternoon sun.

So, it's the irregular leaf margin that's the distinguishing characteristic on this variety?

Ray - There's no question that ANYTHING you do to a Croton has the potential for causing it to sport. William Jennings Bryan sports quite often, though, and I'm guessing if you walked past it with a cold drink, the new leaves would come out blotched.

Scott - Your plant is definitely Johannis.

This will be the first time in more than 40 years that I am not cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Suzi has wrenched the task from me, kicking and screaming. She did, however, concede to my making dessert. Herewith, the recipe: Ricky's English Trifle Recipe This recipe was given to me about 40...

These all look like the same variety, yes? The one at the zoo has more red and pink, but that might be from its location in the shade. Is Exeter a rare variety? I'm going to have Scott put some airlayers on it in the Spring.
