I got a colorful narrow-leaf croton [
Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammy'] during the adopt-a-plant event in the Campus Center at work. It's doing just fine on the windowsill in my office.

| Croton - Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammy' |
The entire plant is only about 7 inches tall up to the highest leaf, so it was sort of odd to see shrub sized versions of this plant in Orlando all around the hotel property.

| Dark maroon with red tips in Orlando - Definitely a croton, not sure if it is my exact 'Mammy' cultivar, maybe the leaves get darker when they get more sunlight, or maybe my newer leaves are greener. Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammy' |

| Same shape as my Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammy' but maybe a darker cultivar?? |
It's fun being able to recognize plants that I know - that means I'm learning! One day I'll just be able to point at things left and right like boom, boom, boom, named it!
