Ain't this just the coolest thing - to do these pictures?!!

Kell, don't worry about sending me coleus - my neighbor gave me some and Brugie gave Glory some, so we will have plenty. But thanks!

OK Roz, crush me with a spoon!

Oh, WOW. I take it back ; I will be waiting. Such healthy looking plants! The major problem I have is that whatever I label a plant to be, isn't.

Roz, here's some url with photo & name ... http://www.crownsvillenursery.com/coleus.htm , http://www.variationsgreenhouse.com/coleus_catalog.htm hope that help u.

Gulfport, MS(Zone 8a)

Thanks, Rose, that sure does help. Problem is that these coleus seem to change colors so much; I guess according to sun, etc.

High Desert, CA(Zone 8a)

u're welcome Roz :), my pleasure!!! the ones u sent are doing great. new leaves are forming. in fact most of them are looking good. thank U :)!

Glad to hear it!

Roz, Yup, that's Tilt-a-Whirl. When it's older or just gets more sun, it will have more orange in it and the green areas will turn yellow -- then it's really beautiful.

Kell! Tooooo many coleus! You are now officially no longer a newbie! I'm ripping off your newbie badge.

In your first picture, what is the one with the long ragged leaves, second from the right. And is that Aurora, second from the left? In the second pic, with the two green and white ones, is the top center one South of the Border and the lower left one Wild Lime? I haven't noticed that they had such a difference in leaf size. (Mine are on opposite sides of the house, but I still think my Wild Lime has pretty good sized leaves...) And what is the one on the far left just above Thumbelina?

Send me that list, girl!

I thought you had a small yard Kell.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Tell me what you are all seeing and where are you seeing it? Weeds, what yard can you see............... am I missing something?? LOL

Panhandle, FL(Zone 8a)

I see big, no, huge plants in your pictures and I figure there has to be a yard (dirt) for them.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Oh I do have yard........LOL, just not a big one. And it is over planted! I am in negotiations with my DH to take over his lawn. So far I am losing!
