August 21

One of my planters this year. A friend gave me some large planters this year, 3 of them were the same, so I put some of the same plants in each of them. This one was different and I had bought several coleus without any plans of what to do with them. I decided to put 5 of them in this planter with a colocasia in the middle. I will be doing more like it next year. It is low maintenance since there is very little deadheading to be done.
Tomorrow afternoon I leave on a road trip to meet my sister in Oxford. And so far the weather looks like it is going to cooperate, with sunshine and temperatures around 22 - 23 C.
