| Well, I am almost ashamed to admit it, but I did end up with 81 coleus in my order. I really think that is the most I have ever ordered from them. I picked all that I liked and when I went back to delete some I kept thinking... Oh, my Mom loved that so much. So I decided that was good enough reason to keep all of them on my list. LOL If you placed an order, please share with us. Here's my list: Alabama Sunset Black Beauty Bonfire Bronze Pagoda Burning Bush Butter Creme Carrot Cake Chantilly Chirp Colleen Collins Gold Crimson Velvet Dappled Apple Defiance Eclipse El Brighto Electric Lime Felix Fiona Fire Dragon Fire Fingers Fireworks Flamingo Florida Sun Rose Fusion Germann's Yellow Giant Fantasy Gloria Glory Golda Hedwig Henna Hot Embers Inky Toes Jo-Jo Juicy Lucy Kingwood Kritter Kingwood Torch Kona Red Lancelot Velvet Mocha Lemon & Lime Lemon Chiffon Lemon Sunsation Marie Mariposa New Hurricane Ollie Paisley Shawl Peach Torque Pele Peter Green Peter Wonder Pinata Pink Pomegranate Purple Haze Religious Rutabaga Roaring Fire Rustic Orange Shocking Pink Smallwood's Drive Solar Flare Sugar Castle The Boss Tigerlily Tooth or Consequences Songbird Walter Turner White Fingers White Lace Wild Lime Wildstreak Yellow Dragon Yellow Splash |

| Brinda, that's the best reason I can think of. I'm making a list of cutting request already. I paid $800.+ for a new refrigerator, so RD had to wait. Shine Life isn't about how you survived the storm, It's about how you danced in the rain! |

| Hi Allison! Nice list there. I'm curious about a few on your list. Have you ever grown Jack of Diamonds, Neon Rose, Ruby Laser or Screaming Raspberry? I'd love to know how those did for you if you have. And I'd love to see pics if you have them. |
Name: Allison NJ (Zone 6a) |
| I think the only one I had before was Ruby Laser... not having any luck finding a photo though.. sorry.. if I remember right it didn't get very large... but wanted to give it another shot.. all the others I haven't had before |

| Brinda I had Jack of Diamonds last year and Neon (which is different but similar to Neon Rose I think). I liked both of them. I want to say JD was a large coleus with lots of reddish pink. Neon was medium with lots of bright deep pink. Patty |

| Brin I had Jack of Diamonds. I liked that one a lot. The Screaming Raspberry I had never did well and bit the dust overwintering,. |
Name: Brinda Yukon, OK (Zone 7a) Brinda Feb 7, 2010 10:38 AM CST |
| I think I've heard great reviews about Jack of Diamonds. I should give it a try. Patty, thanks for the pics. They look great. And for some reason I think I might have had Screaming Raspberry before and maybe it didn't do well. Maybe that is why I'm not remembering it much. Allison, you liked Ruby Laser? |
Name: Allison NJ (Zone 6a) |
| I thought I had it ... but now I don't think I did... maybe it was on my wish list.. can't find it in my records that I bought it.. sorry maybe I was wrong |

| Hi, everyone! Brinda, just so you are prepared for them before they arrive. If in the ground, holes dug, especially. I never did hear from them about my order that refused to register in their system, but maybe my email went into a spam folder. I just wrote and invited Pam of Rosy Dawn to join us here in Cubits. I see a commercial caladium grower-guy has a cubit. Cheers, Melissa |
