coleus!

This is quickly becoming the most striking plant in my house. I've been taking photos of it against different backgrounds to see the various effects. In its usual spot with light coming through the pretty foliage

I'm so glad I figured out how to give this plant the proper care. It's hard to remember now how scraggly and sad it was, when it first came to me as an abandoned plant six months ago!
