Coleus Leaves

One advantage to being home in the morning now, is that I get to see the sunshine coming through the windows. 

I love the way these coleus leaves look in that sunlight!

Today's Flowers

One of the coleus plants indoors

 has a few blossoms on it.

 Coleus plants come in so many colours...

Mom has planters on the front verandah

 and I love the way the coleus leaves catch

 the afternoon sun.

A couple of my coleus plants are blossoming.

 My grandmother taught me to always remove the flower stalks,

 but I think she was wrong.

 The flowers are so delicate!

 

Bringing the Tender Perennials In

It is that time of year again - bring the plants in that I want to overwinter.

I am partial to scented geraniums - I have one of the lemons,

a strawberry (more than a year old - I am SO proud of myself),

and a nutmeg.
