Blossombudy Did you mean a photo of the group of cuttings?
Its not much to rave about.
I'll post an album of the plants in containers.

well, the ones you just posted a list for, I was wondering especially what Fiesta looked like!
Its really showey and strong.
Very very nice! I need to chop mine back. they bloomed and the bees have been enjoying them, but the seeds are ready! All my coleus got leggy and one big plant even got woody stemmed on me! I dont know if I am going to bring any in this year.
mable...another DGr IDd it as a Kong.
The Kong series is a variety with very large leaves.
I'm not sure what thread it was IDd on, maybe "coleous"?
This container in the shade, will outlast the others in the sun on the deck.
Every year Trailing Queen knockes itself out.
nice!
Mornin Allison. Thats the Woodpile garden mostly shade.I found more sun dosnt make trailing queen as big leaved and pretty.
morning!!! .... I agree.. it like part shade
Love your coleus, GE1836. Wish they did better in our climate. Caladiums, too.
ge...I have that mahogony too. Love your labels...something else for me to learn! You have great coleus.
the wind keeps knocking over the one tall one I have in a clay pot.. the thing is so top heavy... I moved it to a new spot .. see what happens
ooooooohhhhhhhhhhh man... the wind knocked over my bloom master box... the thing is all smashed
:(
don't ask me how... I could barely lift it back up
Maybe it wrenched itself off the hook.I hope the damage wasnt too severe.
not one of the hanging ones.. the huge box... and it's pretty bad
this was from the 28th last month... guess it will be the last photo of it
That is too bad.
Oh,bummer! ;o(
insult to injury... I can't get the broken pieces of Persian shield out... the BES vine is all wrapped around it...SIGH... I had to walk away
There are those moments of mourning in a gardeners life.
it really is
oh man that was gorgeous! So sorry.
thanks... I didn't even want to water the thing yesterday.. LOL
Well, yano, many parts might be salvagable (sp)~... like some plants!
my biggest thing is when I get something huge and trailing in a basket and then I have to cut things back.. its like losing a long queu of hair! LOL!
the smashed version... I was able to pull out the broken pieces today.. shriveled up enough
It looks great Allison.
when it flipped it landed on the top somehow
Well, you do have a lot of plant in that! maybe its flipping was saying "I need a hair cut"?!
Some of my containers are getting top heavy too! They look so good, but the container is not container enough for their heavyness... and Lord knows we hate to prune when they got a good frock of plant hair!
that's right... just moved my clay pots that kept toppling over.. can't cut them!!!
LOL!! I know that syndrone.. cant or wont! LOL! I got some coming in the house and they have to go for a trim if I am gonna have them next year!
So far I have brought in enough to fill only one level of my one plant shelf stand...got bunches to go. I bring in a few each day.. hoping I get them all in by frost! Im not gonna work my tushy off though and get a hernia over it.
