A few months later I was back at the same nursery and saw one starting to bloom (mine had not progressed that far yet). Liked it so much I bought my second AJ. I put them in a big pot. Now they are blooming. We progressed through the white stage to pink. I was amazed how they attract bees and wasps. Now they are turning darker. An amazing plant!SiestaSisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810517627451623408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-53092611311991909512010-09-04T16:07:29.050-05:002010-09-04T16:07:29.050-05:00Keep the posts coming... love the coleus!Keep the posts coming... love the coleus!Dirty Girl Gardeninghttp://www.dirtygirlgarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-42929194683129492722010-09-04T07:15:26.969-05:002010-09-04T07:15:26.969-05:00Jean,

Great shot of the hummingbird, but I do hope they haven't started migrating yet. That means mine will be leaving soon:(<br /><br />I understand how hard it is to blog when you've been staring at a computer screen all day.

Don't apologize; post when you can. Secondly, congrats on a gardening editing gig. Yay! Thirdly, I've been making a living as a writer/editor in some form for over 20 years and I very rarely update my blog... writing all the time, or staring at ords, inhibits one's own interest in creating more.
