Well, it really isn't a coleus garden, it's just invaded by coleus! When it gets light, I'll take pictures of some of the babies. They are just starting! The parents were Kongs as well as a couple of large leafed black with green edges. They have done a good job of creating their own beauty!

Last winter a lady stopped by while I was cleaning things in the front yard. She is from Wisconsin. She was simply appalled when she saw huge coleus plants in the black trash bag. I told her they are a pain but that wouldn't be the end of them! She described to me all of the efforts she makes to over winter them and just could understand how someone could toss them out. Funny!!!

Spring is slowly happening here. It started about 3 weeks ago, but new growth on colocasias, oak trees and other plants is very slow. That means it isn't warm enough to push them along. That's nice!
