PS if you need to see it closer up, i have a close up photo.

It's a croton (Codiaeum variegatum); very common also in Florida and easily propagated from cuttings.

Yes, show close-ups!

I agree, it's a croton. There a very wide range of foliage available in these - colours and shapes. They're very hardy plants and don't really need looking after. Some people are avid collectors.

thanks everyone! yes, there is a very large range of foliage available, i have several types myself. i know a Portuguese lady who has all they different types avaible here. i am posting the closeup.
thanks again.
