Karen, That is beautiful. The dark one in the first picture is so nice. I see your dragon wings!! They look good. Looks good even after all the heat you had this season. Green Grin! You could take a lot of cutting from those. Whistling

I took two cuttings from the dragon wings.. They most likely won't take, or I'll kill them later. Hilarious! I swear, I can kill begonias by looking at them. Glare

Marilyn, do you mean the pink one on the left of the steps? That's trailing rose. It's one of my best growers.

I realized after doing some checking online there was a lot of plants with pink in the name

Here is the one I meant. The one on the left. Sometimes it just easier to snip a pic and then eliminates the guesswork.

Thanks so much

That's Pinata, badly faded in the unrelenting hot sun, heat, and drought we had this summer.

This was my Pinata last summer, with more reasonable weather.

I never had luck with the dragon wing cuttings. Rooted ok but never really grew. Thats why I grow from seed every year. Pinata is pretty , I have never grown that one. There are so many!!!and all beautiful!

Marilyn, it's not a seed variety. It's vegetatively propagated.

Kqcrna, your Coleus are stunning!! Absolutely LOVE looking at your pics. So pretty.

Have you tried saving cuttings in water? That's how I do it, hundreds of them. I have about 95% success with this method, and can cram a ton of plants in a very small space. They love the windowsills except north.

They'd be frozen on my windowsills. When I've tried to root them in water, most rot. I forget about them. Hilarious!

But thank you for the compliments.
