green wave-

or, my second generation of coleus cuttings this winter.

They were all getting very topheavy, so I took and kept the best cuttings in jars- this one is the 'crazy rodeo drive' which turns very plain green and tame when grown indoors. It's actually made a nice houseplant for the winter.

I've now got twice as many than in all these pictures. New cuttings in the windowsill, older plants below-

New cuttings on the little table, older plants below. Some of the companion plants: jade, spider plant, Tradescantia zebrina, arrowhead, madagascar palm.

There will be plenty for spring! It was kind of amusing when I was done with the task, to carry all the discard pieces out and leave a heap on the compost pile. When I look back, there's bright green and splash of color on top of the dull compost bin in the dull, wet yard.
