Eric, the first 2 are correct. Your third one looks like "John Bender " & I'm not sure about the last one. How are they holding up with the weather?

Eric, I agree with Randy that #1 is Stoplight, #2 is General Paget, #3 is John Bender, and #4, well, is certainly a very nice looking croton. Randy doesn't often get stumped on croton ID's. I'm not sure what it is either. It could potentially be a blotched form of a cultivar ( i.e.blotched William Jennings Bryan, blotched Thanksgiving, etc.), or something completely different. It almost looks something along the lines of a blotched Van Buren, if there was such a thing. Who or where did you get this croton from? That could help determine an ID too. I wonder what Moose and Jeff Searle have to say about #4? Thanks for posting, your plants look great.

These are growing down in Homestead, FL.

I am growing 'Stoplight' and 'General Paget' here in Orlando along with others. They are doing well, this winter the low so far has been 34F with several other nights in the upper 30sF.
