My daughter in law is trying to get a coleus bed going in her new front yard. She likes the hot pinks, limes (Lime Light), and reds. But will take anyting. Looking for cuttings and or plants as I will be rooting them for her now so they'll be ready to plant by spring. She's pregnant for the first time in her life...and...with twins maybe tripletts. She'll find out if the third one is going to make it on Monday after seeing the specialist. The baby's heart rate was only 89 and its a problem because it is one of two that share the same placenta (identical twins), she's only 9 weeks into the pregnancy. We're hoping that two babies will make it...this is my son's first time at being a father! He's excited but she's is taking the possible loss of the weak baby pretty hard, she feels her body has let her baby down :-( My son is so cute, taking on all the house duties so Becki can concentrate on healthy babies. I think her coleus dream flower bed will cheer her up in the spring. At this point I don't know how much cheering up she will need, I just want to be ready.
Please respond here, my computer is down and I can't get to roadrunner...GRRRRR! But will check back here to see if we can trade. I do have lots to trade. Take a look at my list.

Looking for coleus cuttings for my DIL
I have 2 cuttings that are rooted you can have....
Hi crestedchik,
I would love you rooted coleus. What can I send you?
I'll send you and email with details.
Thanks,

Daisy; I'm so sorry to hear your kids are having problems with their babies. You all will be in our prayers.
I've put a picture of a grouping of overgrown coleus. I can send you clippings of as many as you like. They all need to be trimmed back and you are welcome to the trimmings.
I think maybe I would like some cannas? email me.
Thanks,
Molly
Hi Molly,
Thank you for responding. Beautiful photo! I'll send you an email with details.
Thanks again,
Daisy
Daisy, I am sending email to you office with details, however, if you are still on tonight, please give me your best coleus packing advise.
Molly
Hi Molly,
Still on...LOL! I live at Dave's!
I would just cut them and wrap the hole cutting in paper towels, wet that down, doesn't have to be soaking, just wet. Then stick it in a plastic bag or your wrap them in saran wrap if you don't have any plastic bags. Seal the bag to make sure the cuttings doesn't dry out. They will arrive in crips condition when I get them.
Thanks for trading,
Daisy
Great Daisy;
Thanks for the advice, they are in the mail tomorrow. Should be there by Wednesday.
