Stan, Tim and I went to a Pug Hug held at Token Creek yesterday morning. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera. It was sitting there with my stuff, ready to take, but I forgot it. So, no pug pictures. Instead, here's a picture of my favorite coleus from the summer. We've brought all the plants in for the winter now. Because of some unexpected bad weather in May this year, most of the ones that did winter over from the previous years (some were several years old) didn't make it. We planted those in the ground, and in the meantime acquired replacement Coleus over the course of the summer. Those we potted in pots and hope to winter over as many as we can this year. We will not put them out until June of 2007. There were many beautiful ones, unfortunately, my favorite one from 2005 didn't make it. The one in the picture is a new one we got this year. It started out as sort of plain light green with a marroon stem/center, but as it matured, it turned into an amazing greenish gold/yellow with PURPLE stems and centers. I hope this one survives. Click the picture to see it a bit larger.
