    I brought back cuttings of this one a few years ago from Hawaii. They were purchased from an Egg Farm so I used that name as a place holder. It's much too nice a croton for that name. Any ideas?

    It appears to be Picturatum, but if there is a single interrupted leaf, it's Interruptum.

    Marie - How long are the leaves? It will be interesting if you can keep the same leaf colors in our habitat. It could possibly be an evolved / morphed form of Majesticum, a colored up form of Johannis or a Challenger. Or a seedling from the previous mentioned old varieties. Looking at the images enlarged, there seems to be much flowering occuring. The petioles and soft stems are very brightly colored. Very nice. :cool:
