Thank you @greenappleagnes for the acorn.

Thank you @Frenchy21, @TBGDN, @crawgarden and @greenappleagnes for your nice comments.

Thank you @Fleur569, @Frenchy21, @greenappleagnes, @greene, @JHeirloomSeeds, @plantmanager and @TBGDN for the thumbsup.

The left side of the banner is a no id coleus and the far right side is Coleus ColorBlaze® Dipt in Wine, which is one of my favorite coleus plants.

This is the pic that I made the banner from. Taken 7/16/07

Beautiful foliage, Marilyn! Drooling

Coleus is hard to beat for vibrant colors....they just glow in the shade
when the light hits them.

Thanks for posting all those great image. Thumbs up

BTW, these are great for creating a "tower" of coleus
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IYHIKG/
I was able to get 2 sets in 2017 for only $12 ea......(clearance?).
Now they're $47. =O

But well made, and for a one time buy, maybe worth it.

Thank you @greenappleagnes, @GaNinFl and @EscondidoCal for your nice comments.

Thank you @bumplbea, @EscondidoCal, @GaNinFl, @vic and @Whitebeard for the thumbsup.

@EscondidoCal, I'm sure you can find that "tower" someplace online alot cheaper or did you already check besides amazon?

Happy everyone liked my banner and pics, as much as I did.

I don't always grow them, since I like to have flowers for the hummers, butterflies and bees every summer, but maybe I should start getting some every year just for the color and beauty they give in the garden.
