Could this be Rosie O'Grady???

In the ground over 12 years from a 3-gallon of unknown origin. The first two are the plant in deep shade. The second two are of a two or three year old cutting from the original plant. In looking at The Book, this strongly resembles the photo on page 54.

lately I have noticed that a lot of crotons that now are in deep shade as my trees and palms have grown do not color up as well as more sun especially a bravo I have the one in morning sun looks nice and the shade green little color

What about this? Who named Rosie O'Grady and does anyone know the history? I took one of my air layer's from this plant to the Glock social.

I believe while at the Glock's garden tour last month, it was determined that the plant going around under the name Dolores ( named by Richard Buttons) is the real Rosie.

If Dolores is the real Rosie, what is the Rosie pictured in Dr Browns book?
