Photo of the Day - Coleus



While flowers are beautiful and showy, sometimes foliage can be dramatic. It often grows in pleasing compositions, the way leaves are grouped and displayed. There are an amazing number of shades of green. I remember when I was a kid, most of us just colored all green leaves and grass "green" and didn't seem to notice the many differences in color.

Coleus leaves are variegated and textured. With several different varieties, you could make a leaf bouquet nearly as colorful as a floral one.
