The coleus--gosh, I just love all the different foliage. Maybe I should plant a shady area with nothing but coleus? And thanks for including the celosia photo--I noticed a similar variety in the Nursing Home garden earlier this week, and it was so striking. I thought celosia were all just the short variety that are orange, red or yellow. <br /><br />Looks like such a great place to visit!

Some lovely features. I love autumnal colours, don't you?<br /><br />Restored prairie, is for me, the most interesting. After visiting last year, it has stayed with me. I have a little bit of prairie (my version) in my garden and it always reminds me of time spent with fellow bloggers. I intend to visit again one day......Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814396908744491265.post-16712406401522075302011-09-28T10:25:57.569-04:002011-09-28T10:25:57.569-04:00A lovely tour and great photos, Monica.
