Hallo!

I 've bought this orange croton, but I don't know how it is named.

Anyone know which cultivar it is?

#1 looks like Van Houtii

#2 looks like William Craig and a green Rams Horn (originally known as "Volutum")

Ray,

I was not sure on #1, but that sounds like a good ID now that you mentioned it. I thought #2 was a William Craig as well. And a dreadfully slow one !

That is a pretty croton. I don't know the name of it, but while I'm here let me throw this photo up and can anyone ID these two variety?

That one on the right with the curly leaves looks like a new variety in TC called 'Revolutions' from DeRoose. It looks like 'Rams Horn'

Post #7 has many names but is primarily known as "Reliance" a "Johanna Coppinger" sport.

Post # 8 from left to right is "Goldfinger", "Van Buren" and an unknown.

Post #9 looks like "Sweet Marie" but not 100% certain

This croton I got from the Kennedy Space Center. It was growing outside a portable office. They were getting ready to tear down the offices and build a new building. I got a couple cuttings off this and figured I saved it from extinction! Any idea what it is? thanks

Here is an example of a sport. These two leaf forms are on the same plant. The original one was the shorter oval leaf and this one stem just recently popped out with the longer leaf on it. Sporty...

Hi Dave,

Post # 13 looks like a "Satan" or an "Irene Kingsley"

The original plant in #15 is "Ovalifolium". That is a very different looking sport from the mother plant. Very cool!

Hello Marina,

Those are nice plants.

Here are my guesses:

2. "Mortii"

3. "Johanna Coppinger"

4. "Madam Butterfly"

5. "Twist and Point" or "Twist and Turn"

6. "Andreanum"
