Autumn in the garden


Coleus 'Dipt in Wine' (thank you, cloverann, for reminding me of the cultivar name)

Rumex, Heuchera and trailing snaps in my Target wall planter


Volunteer zinnia


Echeveria in a biodegradable rice hull pot


Amazing how a pressure washer revitalized my Costco-purchased teak outdoor dining set. Bonus points if you can spot the dog chew toy!


Hummingbirds have been loving my Salvia leucantha. It froze to the ground last winter.


Japanese anemone


Coleus 'Royal Glissade'


My apple green chair planter is on its last legs (literally), but is hanging in there. I just replanted it with cool-season color.


Purple ornamental kale seems made for this pot I brought back from Mendocino

    Your photos are great! I lusted for that first Coleus earlier this year ('Dipt In Wine'? great name - luscious plant). Never got one :-( The green chair is perfect - and, happily, the birdbath isn't tilted (phew). Wish I had time this week to get some good pics of my garden. Your garden DOES look like bliss.
