Allan - that last one really caught my eye. Not sure it is a cultivar I am familure with.

Boy that is one huge Mammee.That must have been in the ground for decades!!

Now I thought the last one was a stoplight, but when I compared the photo to my stoplight it had me baffled, the difference was the patches of pigmentation on the leaves, so I made the trip back and got a cutting from the owner, let’s see how that turns out.

The last one looks like Dayspring in very high light.

Ray,
I found the following photos on a Google search

The first two pics labelled Dayspring came from a photobucket gallery (http://photobucket.com/images/Croton+Dayspring/)

The other pic Daybreak came from this forum called "Croton Adventure" (http://www.palmpedia.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-2589.html?)

The first photo has the rounded leaf reminiscent of Compte de Germiny and not Dayspring. The second and third appear like Daysrping.

Ray,
Here are photos of a similar but older plant. Does this help with an ID?

Thanks
Allan

Allen I really enjoy your post of your trips to the markets and the coast of Trinidad how about a picture of the market with Roti and curry. I think we found a new love in the southern Caribbean and a travel hot spot for vacations if we go we will visit your garden. Thanks Kip
