The first two pictures are Inca from recent cuttings. The Croton they were taken from was identified as Inca by the usual gaggle of gurus. The next three are Gloriosa Superbum, all purchased at a local Publix for $4.99 each in 3-gallon cans.

It appears to be AFD#5, sold in the big box stores as "Fantasy". I thought, at first, that it might be Van Buren, but there are no spots on Van Buren.

Perry - the sport is a fairly common one, occurring best in full sun.

Hard to tell the size of the leaves, but it looks more like Red Excurrens.

I have just finished a seance with Bob Alonzo and he confirms this as Mrs. WF Dreer.

All of these Crotons came from the same plant. Cuttings over the past 10 years of what David McLean was calling "Zadroga". Correctly identified as Mrs. WF Dreer.

I have 6 General Pagget in the ground. None of them have any red.

Anna - I have lots of photos to take, but not until the Fall colors kick in. With all this rain, my Crotons are loaded with new growth, so everything looks green and yellow right now.

The are both AFD #5 sold in the big box stores as Fantasy. Elaine is also called Nervia and may also be AFD #9. Like most Crotons, they will look different depending on light.

Here's a link to a free image processing application called Irfanview. It's freeware, it's easy to use, and it has features that you'd expect to see in something like Photoshop. It works with any version of Windows. Click Here to download. Here's Ray's photo enhanced through Irfanview. I...

Yes. I have it in three places in the garden. The best color is the one getting the most sun.

Move that into more sun and you will get much better color. CI Craigin does not grow well in the shade.

I've never seen Jean Francis, but I grow Fred Sanders and it does not have red petioles.

I don't fertilize plants, only palms and large trees.
