Bill, i'll even go as far to I.D. it for you...LOL I believe it's 'Mona Lisa' a dwarf oriental that would be in bloom about now. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/60367/
The good news is you don't need to dig it up in the fall. if it had been a canna you would of had to in order to save it.

Ge, my astilbe only gets morning sun...maybe 3-4 hours at the most.
Shelly is busy with garden projects. She is doing fine. Also having some computer trouble.
Celeste thx:) i knew you would be the expert!
Good grief
If thats the size it gets I'll have to move it again.Its way too big for that area.
The area its in now also gets 4 hours afternoon sun.
I would say this is fast becoming one of my favorite coleus.
Very nice! Which one, Celeste?
Similar to my Absolute favorit survivor-performer Glory

Glory is at right
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor.
Glory 5 ways

Willie, the cosmos is sensation mix. My ten year old daughter dropped the seeds off her hands accidentally although she now claims it is on purpose.
I'm not positive which coleus it is.....one of these. LOL

monarda blooming
echi razzmatazz
more echi's
Like Razz!
Looks like "Sundown"

another echi
Does this look familar? Found it out under the Hollyhocks today.
i do not think it is - i have that planted in back - i have the tag there so i need to look - i may be one that turned on me - here were all supposed to be purple/pink ones
had to follow this butterfly all over the yard to get a pic - was on an echi to begin with - then tried to hide out in the lace cap hydrangea's
and this little one was also shy - had to wait for it to come back a while
yes it does - exactly like the one you id'd this morning:)
peirnis (sp) new growth
ok so it is echi season - i thought these looked cool
i've posted this before so i must like it - need to move the two yellow flower volunteers to spread this one around - this is after a massive trim to the mutant red bud
ballon flowers are popping
I love echi's too...I think I ordered between 2-4 of each of the ones the co-op offered!!
No echi's blooming here yet but the JI's are.
another..........
and last one - this hollyhock was a surprise - had a black one there and planted two others last year who died from rust - this was a seedling last year it came back
and no rust!! i've been spraying it with the same anti-fungal spray that i've been promissing to post for a week on the edibles thread - i will get this done tonight!
