with a Coleus,of all things……
Let me fill you in.
I went to Lowe’s for more melaluca mulch.But then I saw
IT!
The minute I saw IT I was drawn to IT.
IT had a power over me,that I can’t explain.
IT was a stupid coleous,fer Gawd’s sake.
But I had to have IT!
I bought three….
Look at IT,in all it’s glory,in a container,with ivy……
or in another container,with another lime green coleus…..
I don’t really care for coleus.They’re way too needy for me.
But this one has a power over me.I love the deep purple and lime green colors.
Isn’t it odd how we are drawn to a certain plant?For absolutely no reason.
But this one seems to be a mini variation.
And I adore the coloration.
The purple red with the lime green….
I need to buy more……
That is a neat coleus and I can see why you would want more.

The pot looks beautiful. They are kind of high maintenance though. I hated the messy flowers...I was always too busy to get them picked off. I like the mini look in the pot though.
ReplyDeleteI was a not a coleus fan until I finally tried them in containers and now I'm hooked. Love the one here big time. Happy to have found your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely do need more! I love coleus and find them not nearly so needy in ground. But, yours certainly do set off those container gardens. I have a lime green one that is coming back from the roots after being frozen this winter. Never had that happen before.
ReplyDeleteI can't blame you for the attraction. That purple and lime green is a stunning combo! I used to like coleus a lot more...before these past couple of winters and the wicked freezes.
ReplyDeleteAha...the power of plants. I've felt their power before...one to many times. She is a darling little coleus though...those small leaves and she looks great matched up with both green plants. Enjoy!
