These are 2 really old plants I have. Like planted in the GH in 2002 old.
I can;t remember what they are exactly.
So I am calling on people who I think may have croton experience....@sunkissed, @ardesia, @dyzzypyxxy, @ScotTi....
And anyone else who knows about crotons.

The first one is a plant I got in a trade. The trader called it 'Rasta'. But there is no croton cultivar named Rasta. I think they meant DREADLOCKS. But, I am wondering, is Dreadlocks the same plant as King of Siam? They seem quite similar. Mine gets the white that turns to cream on some leaves. The leaves start out looking normal, and as they are they twist

The second plant is this one. I can;t seem to match it exactly either. It resembles both Victoria Gold Bell, and Zanzibar, but neither is an exact match. I feel this one is a common one. Just can;t remember the name. It's not Mammey, the leaves are not all that wavy on the edge, they are more straight. But I guess it could be Mammey
