Shows like that can use flowers from all over the world.<br /><br />Jean- no kidding! They often put things together that would never grow/bloom together in real life. It's a fantasy, but a wonderful one!<br /><br />Carol- I wonder if it likes our climate better. It's a really easy one to grow here. Once it gets roots, you just have to keep pinching it back so it doesn't bloom.<br /><br />Vanilla- That's good, 'cause there is a LOT more.<br /><br />Jean- It's so much fun, to see so many options, even if you know they won't work in your garden.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-64909844359852480202011-03-14T23:07:16.700-04:002011-03-14T23:07:16.700-04:00I like the dark leaved Coleus.
