beauty

Coleus is still my favorite plant right now. It is just so stunning, and it grows so fast. The cuttings in jars have nice threads of roots now, I could plant them as soon as I get some more potting soil.
And since I pinched off the tops and side stems to create those cuttings, the main plant has sprouted tiny pairs of leaves wherever a main leaf joins the stem (I'm sure there's a botanical term for that part of a plant, but I don't know it). The baby leaves seem to have more color than I remember new leaves having before.
