Coleus Chatter September

Here it is.
A place to chatter about coleus.

What a beautiful morning to stroll through the garden as the sun came up today. The coleus and caladiums certainly are stars right now along with the dahlias. Soon enough the caladiums will begin their downward trip but those coleus just look so beautiful.

Thats Glory.
So versital, gold in sun and green in shade

thanks for the new thread

I'm enjoying your alter ego, Dale.

At the beach....brrrrr.

On top of a mountain, looking over SF on a foggy day, Mr. Coleus was not impressed.

Less fog makes for better viewing>

Mr Coleus liked the redwoods>

I did find a few plants at a couple nurseries...coleus is not widely grown in CA.

I found these in Golden Gate Park about 1000 feet from the Pacific, Wizard Mix>

you are too funny Dale... nice shots though

What a riot Dale! I hope you and Mr. Coleus had a great trip - looks like you did!

I had a good time. Visited lots of gardens>

I was hoping to see your trip photos, Dale. Glad you found some coleus friends to pal around with! LOL

Some nurseries carry lots of coleus here. Unfortunately I find way too many every year to buy. My favorites are the 1 gallon huge ones for $3.99 and up to $5.99. I have about 3 or 4 nurseries I go to if I want a big selection of kinds.

Which gardens did you go to?
