Dear Allison, all pictures are my own and are not copyright so you have my full permission to use any that you so wish!

Neil.

thank you .. that is very kind of you!

trying to figure out if that is a tall weed in there... or something I planted

just a shot for fun

Oh Neil, you make me want to visit London so much. As usual, fabulous photos. thank you.

I picked this one up at a swap.. not sure which it is.. but loving the color.. one of the wizards maybe?

today's shots

Allison, please give me instructions as how to do that. (today's shots)

And everything is beautiful.

thank you.. I use Picasa
https://picasaweb.google.com/h...
after you load your photos into the program.. you can select your photos to add to make a movie.. add music .. the transitions between shots.. just have to make sure the music is not one of the songs youtube won't allow you to play.. some are copyrighted and they block the song.. I usually see if that song comes up on video or not ... if there is a video it is usually allowed .. even though they will send you a message that it is owned by someone.. but you don't need to take any action.. the ad will come up to buy the album on itunes usually.. you can either have the song match the photos length.. or the photos match the songs length.. lots of neat options ... then just click the youtube button and it will upload it to your account .. just put your user name & password in

Beautiful, Allison.

Karen

thanks Karen!

I did not discover Coleus till a few years ago. I really did not think anything that colorful would grow in this hot dry environment but they proved me wrong. Sadly, I lost all of them this past winter when it dropped to 18 F but I have started over and have posted a photo taken today. I love all the beautiful pictures on this site and all the great info.

oh good for you.. they look wonderful!!!

Linda, what beautiful plants!

Karen

Thank you Allison and Karen.

would love to see some of your photos!!!

Yep Linda, I think you are a coleus addict for sure.
We have folks in Phoenix, Vegas and now Tuscon growing coleus.
I know a few California desert folks who collect also.
I am going to overwinter some down on Lake Okeechobee, Fl this winter. It's been Zone10 there forever, but the last 2 years even S. Fl had hard freezes.
I will have a system where I can keep them in spite of old man winter.
I will be soliciting cuttings from anyone who wants to contribute.
I will make cuttings or rooted cuttings available to folks here at All Things Plants.
Welcome to our little coleus group.
Sidney

Thanks Sidney for the welcome ! I have learned my lesson about the cold and Coleus so will take cuttings or bring the plants in this winter. I so love the colors. Not much color here so they really perk the yard up.

Thanks for your nice comment also Karen.
