Coleus and Fall

I love coleus. I grow them by the dozens. These are grown purely for enjoyment. For tracking purposes, I'll list them all here someday. But, for now - a quick list from memory:
Atlas, Mrs. Harding, Magilla Perilla (maybe a coleus, maybe not), Felix, Rosa, Tobasco, Buttercream, Wild Lime, Salmon Croton, Firebush, Palisandra, Wizard Jade from seed, Wizard Pineapple from seed, Black Dragon from seed, Tilt a Whirl...
Those are the ones I can remember without stretching my brain too hard. I'll add more later. If I can give others half the pleasure these plants give me (by growing/showing them in my yard), then I'll figure out a way to pay to heat the greenhouse this winter. I've heard that heat/natural gas will take quite a hike in price this year. On one hand, it will be expensive to keep them all alive and growing all winter. On the other hand, it would be quite expensive to rebuild my collection.

More importantly, I'm wondering why I'm sitting here typing this at 11 Saturday night. hmmm... Wanted a list?

Wow, it's so nice to see you post on here. Still miss you very much, and wish I could see the yard. Post pics in the spring? I keep meaning to look up the apple orchard on the way to Osceola and see if they can ship Honeycrisp to me. *sigh* Beleive it or not, I really am missing the fall there... I know I didn't live there long, but I really loved the area.

Our yard is still very colorful, but it won't be in a few days. I hear a freeze is on its way. I'm scurrying to get all my cuttings. I'll finish tomorrow. Sure! I'd love to post pictures! :) You should see my Mom's yard this year! It's gorgeous! It's funny to see the different growing patterns of the very same plant, grown under varying conditions.

I have always enjoyed the season changes. It's sort of like 4 new beginnings each year :) I'd think the apple orchard would ship, although, I'm not sure of it... Let me know if you want me to check it out!

hugs back :)


Note to self - More varieties:
Defiance, Dark Star, Kiwi Fern, Molton Lava, Pineapple Queen, Kingswood Torch, Super Duckfoot, Freckles, Stella Red, Flamingo, Norris... I'm sure there are more....
