Thanks, Karen. I do like that combo. You can't believe how many coleuses I tried to pair with Gingerland until I got it right (not perfect yet).

Clearly, I must have been deprived of coffee when I tried this disaster.


Here Beckwith's Gem is too far back to form any eye catching match. I did like Beckwith's Gem but thought I'd like to match the wine colored dots on the caladium so I kept trying more and more coleuses every year.

While the color of Felix did match, the edge went better with Citronelle (heuchera):

It's just a tiny part of my color echoes/color harmony madness.
