These next ones are from Sept. 23, as I didn't get any pics during the Summer, because of the heat, humidity and mugginess. Thumbs down Grumbling

First two are pics of Coleus 'Wizard Mix'. They get morning sun only.

Next four are Fuchsia triphylla 'Gartenmeister Bonstedt, Fuchsia triphylla 'Firecracker' and Lobelia erinus 'Laguna Compact Blue With Eye'. First time growing the 'Firecracker' and most likely the last. While it's very colorful and beautiful, I don't have enough shade it needs. I usually plant the 'Gartenmeister' These all got morning sun only.
