Flowers redux

With the expanded beds for planting, referenced in the last post, today in went Coleus, named by the purveyer Wizard Rose. These are annuals with green leaves centered with reddish purple that has a white border. I know these flowers from my childhood, I know not where.

Hot and humid today, planting again had lost its novelty and became work. Work is not bad either. Let's see if the Coleus growth reawakens the place of the past.
