Pls share your pics of & observations Coleus flowers! (Yes, I know about the "you're supposed to remove the blooms" thing, so pls don't take the discussion in that direction. I leave the flowers on, various flying critters love them.)

From what I've observed, the actual flowers are always a shade of lavender, which can vary in intensity. But, IDK how observant I am, because it just occurred to me this weekend that they sometimes look really different at a glance because of diff stem & bract color. Some are almost white, some are very dark.

Indian Summer (dark stems & bracts) & Florida Sun Jade (lighter S&B's) together:
