[Image]It was pretty close to 90 degrees today although we had an unexpected minor shower in the afternoon that cooled things down a bit. The plant above is a neat coleus (Solenostemon scutellarioides) called 'Lancelot'. It is a very unique amber/maroon as you can see above. We've had lots of comments about this great foliage annual. Another one of our ornamental hot peppers is below. This is 'Blanca-Rose' and has a very interesting early color of creamy sherbert. It will be interesting to see the peppers change color. I'll keep an eye on this one. Lots coming up this week![Image]
