Coleus are lovely! (Coleuses? Colei?) I have a couple of types in a pot on my front porch--one lime green with a bit of pink and purple and one a bronzey purple with bits of green. They look great growing next to one another.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
There are still Colues that I despise. Inky Fingers is ridiculously easy to propogate and grows like wildfire, but the dark purple with the fringe of green looks ugly and boring to me. I've found that dark-leaved plants, while technically interesting and awesome, visually turn into dark pools of shadow in the garden. I'm a chartreuse gal, brighten that shit up! I'm a big fan of Sedona (which is finicky) and Wasabi (so much bright green!). I even did and experiment with a few Helychrysum cuttings that seem to be doing well (got them shoved under the greenhouse benches so they don't get stressed by the sun and heat).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Man, I killed maybe 20 flies this morning before work, and another 5 after getting home. Every time I kill what I think is the last one, another startrs buzzing around a few minutes later.
If they're attracted by something dead in the building, I hope it's out where somebody will find it and not something like a pigeon or mouse in the walls.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
