Garden Sculpture, Sherman Library and Gardens, Corona del Mar, California

A garden scene features a classical-style statue as a focal point, surrounded by lush greenery. The statue, sculpted in a pale, stone-like material, depicts a figure holding a bunch of what appears to be grapes. It stands amidst dense plantings of various shrubs and low-lying plants with varying shades of green foliage. To the right of the statue is a black lamppost with a yellow-lit lantern. The background consists of more vegetation, including palm fronds, creating a backdrop of rich, dark green hues and a slightly shadowed effect.</p></p>

Garden Leaves – 1 in a series from A Gardener’s Notebook via Instagram [Photo]

In the natural world, flowers get all the attention and I have been guilty of perpetuating that bias here in my own blogs. That said, leaves are amazing, too, so in this series I will highlight the many forms of leaves available out there. — Douglas

From Wikipedia…

Coleus

was a

genus

of

flowering plants

in the

family

Lamiaceae. In recent classifications, the genus is no longer recognized, and the formerly included species are instead placed in the genera

Plectranthus

and

Solenostemon

.

[1]

[2]

Because the

type species

,

Coleus amboinicus

(

Plectranthus amboinicus

) is now placed in

Plectranthus

,

Coleus

is regarded as a

synonym

of

Plectranthus

. The term “coleus” is often used as a

common name

for species formerly placed in the genus

Coleus

that are cultivated as

ornamental plants

, particularly 

Coleus blumei

(

Plectranthus scutellarioides

), which is popular as a garden plant for its brightly colored foliage.
