here is a spot to post your container photos
(photos from 6/11)
here are the bloom masters & side planted baskets for this year


Box Planter


I put a few fuchsias in the hanging baskets this year.. wanted to try something new

here are my tea cup sets



I still haven't found a home for the last set.. so many slopes to deal with.. and I wanted them close to water.. but I keep looking around and nothing yet

Fantastic containers of coleus, Allison!

thank you Janice.. your growth size makes me zone envious.. love the green on green!!!

Mine is a new planting so isn't all filled out and beautiful like the photos here. Hopefully some day soon it will fill in. I have two Gloriosa Lilies growing i the same pot.

Very pretty, Lynn!
Allison, that coleus is so easy to propagate. I have broken off numerous stems to put in other pots and they just seem to root. Are all coleus like that?

just love trailers!!!... I have that same red one in my tea cup.. such a cutie

almost all of them are like that.. as long as they stay moist .. don't dry out.. and out of direct sun until they root.. then you are good to go.. just the easiest plants aren't they?

I hope they are the easiest. Years ago I tried growing them and just kept killing them. I lived in eastern WA then . Maybe I will have success here in a more temperate climate.

Hope they are for you as well.. someone has to keep the photos rolling after the frost hits us

Yes, they are!

Maybe I better start growing more coleus. Better wait to see how these do for me. I have one other red one that is so beautiful. It's called Red Head.

I am due to take update shots of my posts.. always amazing to see what a month does.. even though the birds & squirrels beat up a few of my containers that are too close to the feeders.. a Darth Vader coleus I have is almost gone due to them.. and it is usually a really strong grower.. I am so bummed.. every time I walked by and saw another piece broken.. I stuck it back in the same container.. and they just continued to beat on it going to have a gap in my "tree" this year

can't wait to see it Lynn.. never grew that one before!!

I just got finished planting it in the container shown in my above post. I will take another photo in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see it fill in.

while having your morning coffee.. you can browse last years pics.. of my "trees"
The thread "Bloom master containers & hang a pot hangers" in Coleus forum

Allison those are beautiful.

thanks.. they are a lot of work to fill.. but I just love it

It shows that you love it Allison. : )

oh thank you my dear
