The underside of the leaves have a redish color. The lady at the nursery said it was a sport from Petra and it was being called Harvest Moon. I was thinking this may be Yellow Petra.

Scott - it looks like it to me. Mine was sold to me as Icetone. Many nurseries sell these plants with erroneous names and that causes all the confusion. I think alot of nurseries obtain cuttings and go by the name they were told or just make one up. Then they propogate them, sell them to customers with the improper name and on it goes..... :(
 
Thanks guys! Now if we can get some agreement on #4, I can get the correct name on it. She had a couple more I have not seen before. One looked like a Dreadlocks, but the leaves were solid green with a red vein down the middle. The other looked like Gold Dust to me with very very few gold spots I belived she called it Salt & Pepper. I have got a lot to learn yet.
 
up close with # 4....

Just wanted to add that, awhile back, one of the big boxes had a bunch of AFD 5s (Fantasy) that they'd labeled Karen.

And it didn't help that a couple of nurseries insisted on labeling their Eleanor Roosevelts as Sloppy Painter, but Dolins had the real SP, and had their ERs labeled correctly.
