Sally--NO "gentle rain" here yet.....It IS somewhat overcast, though.

Karen--
I guess I will bring in the cell-packs of all the Coleus cuttings I just took
and, definitely, my big pot of Fishnet Stockings. I do not want to lose this one!
It is still cranking out new growth--ALL in the dark patterns.
By now--I have removed all the older, green leaves and it is ALL fishnet...
Took a couple cuttings too...

Judy--
YES! It is an early, unexpected transition to an early fall. Of course--we all know--
that there will be more hot weather ahead.
I am NOT too happy about it. Creates a 'crunch time" to get certain things done.
Like--I think I better cut off one of the main stems of the Dr. Seuss Brug
and cut it up for rooting cuttings. I now have 5 people that want it...and I have
promised the whole big plant to Cylburn. If I can start with a couple good
stem cuttings as my next plant-to-be--I will be happy.

OK! better get outside to do what needs to be done....Gita

Fishnet--right now.....in a 10" pot
Bloom on transplanted, pink Canna---and, yes! "gentle rain" just arrived here...see?
