I saw a "Wilma" croton for sale but cannot find it in my croton book. Is "Wilma" another name for something else?

I'm pretty sure this is a good valid name and represents only one variety. If you want, throw a picture up of the plant in question if you have one and we'll take a look.

I think I saw Marie Nock with one. Anyone have a picture of this cultivar to post?

Was it named after the hurricane?

I think the photo for Nancy Reagan is actually a picture of Wilma. My Nancy
Reagan has smaller leaves and is orange. A grower a few years ago was using the names interchangably but they're very different plants.

Marie,
I absolutely agree with you. I don't know where Wilma originated from, but it is so different from Nancy Reagan. And the name, Reagan is mispelled there and needs an "a" added to it. But the picture under Nancy Reagan is not that, it's a Wilma with all that pink in it, where NR has lots of orange as Marie noted.
