A #carpenterbee working hard #beneficialcritter #beneficialinsect #critterarazzi #wildlife #wildlifewednesday #pollendusted #hardatwork #inmotion

He is just a right handsome fella. #prayingmantis #beneficialinsect #critterarazzi #wildlife #closeup #upclose #critterarazzi #wildlife

He's right handsome only to his mama!🤦😂💘😍

Lmao i think hes beautiful and his markings are so cool.. but maybe im biased cus he means less bad bugs for me ..less work to kill the bad things.. Shelley @ShelleySnyder

You're like a mama to him!😂👍💘😍

Lol yea i guess so i sure fussed at him ... now dont you dare eat any good bugs you heear me young man.. i wont be happy... @ShelleySnyder lol

🤣🤣🤣💘😍

He is just a right handsome fella. #prayingmantis #beneficialinsect #critterarazzi #wildlife #closeup #upclose #critterarazzi #wildlife

This is great! I've only seen one or two ever, close up! He's so cool! 😎

Thank you Kari @KariSamuel xoxo i do think they are pretty darn cool... the better my garden gets the more great critters i see. Makes me a happy human..

Decided to go outside walk duke take a few pics while light was pretty good cus i needed a bit of cheering of and picture taking does that for sure. #bumblebee #beneficialcritter #beneficialinsect #critterarazzi #wildlife #closeup #upclose #macro #Easternbumblebee #bombus-impatiens

Do you ever take a bad photo 😜 so much detail! Amazing 😍

All the time Kerry @kez001uk lol thank you. Been trying to see just how close can i get. These bumblebee seem to understand i mean them no harm. Very cool

@cyndi I think they can tell you don’t by the fact you’ve grown them a heaven on earth! No critter could be anything but happy in your garden, even the ones you’d rather stayed out of it 🤣

Lmao yea i wish they would stay out more ...the bad ones i mean but i do have a very diverse ecosystem so it mostly works out in my favor.. every year i hope to be better at it for myself and the critters more good than bad Kerry @kez001uk

Bumblebees are really just black and yellow cuddly pandas! You can pet them! @kez001uk

Unless they put a leg up then means back off your to close and they want their space but very true very lovely critters they are Kari @KariSamuel i have loads of pics with me holding them as well.

Great picture 🐝🐝

Your photos have really made me love bees and have a new appreciation. Ty

Thank you Enid @godfreye

Aww thank you Heather @heatherdirtyhands that makes me so happy to know that it did that for you. Xoxo

@KariSamuel I don’t think one has ever let me close enough to touch it, let alone pet it 😜 adore them though 🐝

Thanks Tom @tkept

#coleus #twotone

This always makes me think of chocolates and mints lmao. I must be craving them #coleus #foliage

This is a #selfseeded #coleus that i just let keep growing right where its at its at its highest point is up to my face. #foliage

Wow! Never seen 1 that tall.

Thanks Susan @novicegardenlover i take flowers off once they first start so it bushes and grows a tad taller then let some flower but not all over also when i pull flower buds off i cut as close to plant as possible. It for some reason lets it get taller wider. Then i let it set flowers for the insects plenty of sun water. No food for them this year.. not a lot really.

Got to love a coleus

Sure do Bill @BillWatson so many beautiful ones out there too

Bought seeds from China, turned out they were clovers.... such a disappointment. Never ordering from them again. Never again , yours look amazing

Thanks James @jamescalli yea you have to be very careful ..

Scammers man. Horrible how they get away with it

Was it on Wish? Or from where? James @jamescalli if so you can go back and re do your reviews and take pics and complain.

It was on aliexpress the same sorta site, I did leave a review, seems none of them really sell the seeds but advertise it

https://www.irishplantsdirect.ie/proddetail.asp?prod=21249 @jamescalli might be easier to get those free seed catalogs and keep an eye out for sales and such on sites for them.. sometimes they are very cheap too.

Hopefully I'll be able to collect enough seed from all of mine to mix up and maybe be able to share. Xo

Oh that would be amazing. I'll have a fair sized package for you hehe

I'll try to get some off each James @jamescalli but they will be mixed up cus I dont bother separating them.

When your trying to get pics of the #tinyflowers and #bumblebees #photobomb the pic. #beneficialcritter #beneficialinsect #pollinators

#battered #longtailskipper #butterfly #beneficialcritter #coleus-flowers #wildlifewednesday

Amazing talent with photography I truly think you should try to put your pics on canvas or enter a photography contest

I love seeing the detail

Thank you so very much for those kind words Deanna @ladeebug they mean so very much to me.. I've entered photography contest and such before never won anything.. dont know how to do the canvas stuff.. probably cost a lot.. lol xo

Thank you Laura @columbiariver it took forever to get a few good pictures of it..

Lovely photo 🦋

Thank you very much Julie @juliesgarden

#longtailskipper #butterfly #beneficialcritter #coleus-flowers #wildlifewednesday

I’ve read that you should cut back the flowers on coleus to keep the foliage more vibrant. But I love the flowers! It’s vibrant enough.

You can when they are smaller so they can bush out more. But once they get bigger I let them flower out for bees and seeds @laneygarden

#longtailskipper #butterfly #beneficialcritter #coleus-flowers #wildlifewednesday

I think it is too Laura @columbiariver they swam to them faster too lol

#coleus-flowers #coleus letting some flower and set seed for bees and butterflies

#coleus

#coleus

On my quick jaunt around the yard slapping the bugs while trying enjoy all the happy #newgrowth in my uard and not happy with the growth of weeds... Im finding lots of other #coleus i couldnt get good clear pics of them while beating myself up from the mini vamps trying to fly me to their nest. 😂😂😂😒😬

This one is more deep #brownandgreen #coleus all these the wind scattered last year i left them where the wind said hey this is where i want you. So far i like it. Btw i need to weed the #chamberbitter weed out its the bane of life in my yard. A weed that i absolutely hate and i dont hate many plants. Its the weed that looks like a sensative plant in background. Click the tag of it ughhh demonweed more like it.

#multicolored #coleus

#coleus this one is a #burgandyandgreen

#pinchingback #flowerbuds makes the plant fuller at near end of season i let them flower and set seed. #coleus

@cyndi oh that’s so pretty. 👍👍👍

Thank you very much Tom @tkept

Love the foliage 👌🏼👌🏼

The dark is darker in person the green is very lime green very bright...lol... Love it. Pic doesnt do it justice thanks Rich @richard.spicer.7906

Still #growingandblooming like crazy. It was real #warmandmuggy today.. The #weather is yoyoing!! And its making me ache worse than normal. Pick a season mothernature please!! The darker #coleus actually looks darker and more rich in person. Todays pics are crappy sorry to say..

@cyndi Me, too! It was 85 today this time next week they are predicting a high of 55!!! I’m preparing to start bringing in plants and they seriously are not going to fit. 😕

Go up(shelves and hanging baskets) and multitask pots/containers and use grow lights check amazon and wish.com for good prices for them..plants in every room haha.it was same temp wise here as well.. @trishjordan13515

@cyndi Gorgeous leaves, did you grow them from seed? 💖

Thank you @anges and yes I did

@cyndi I'm going to give these a go next year, love them ☺

Best wishes @anges theres a lot of types of them look under the tag and in encyclopedia... Some are so amazing lol it can become an addiction haha but start with some basics from seeds first those are so pretty as well.. I got a mixed seed packet. Good luck

@cyndi Thanks! I noticed they like shade which suits my needs for a certain part of my garden - hoping for some colourful foliage to brighten it up ☺

I have all mine in full morning sun. So.e do have slight afternoon shade So im not sure of the shade... @anges

@cyndi Yes apparently they're Ok in shade ☺

This is gorgeousness! They look great together. Lovely coleus 💜💜💜

I'm in love with Coleus Laura its red with gold trimming. I'm def gonna try save some and I hope it flowers and set seed b4 winter so I can collect separate seed of it. The dark green and white of the periwinkle makes it all pop . thank you so very much @columbiariver

Stunning #colorcombo! #colorpop

Thank you very much Kari @KariSamuel xo

This looks gorgeous together Cyn!! If it doesn't flower just take a cutting, who knows it may flower for you indoors 🤔💘😍

Thank you Shelley @ShelleySnyder I'm gonna take one but gonna wait till I absolutely have to take some indoors I sure do hope it flowers man its pretty

Cutting or seeds you win!😉💘😍

Lovely. ❤️

Absolutely stunning colour 🍂🍁🔥

Thank you @lovestogarden @kez001uk

Gawjus combo 😍

Pretty #pest but I fed it to the #fish lol 😈 #caterpillar I've been doing that lately with a lot of the smaller caterpillar that are #badbugs and they gobble them up! Free fish food haha

My pleasure Cyn!💘😍

#coleus-flowers #coleusflower #closeup #bee #bumblebee #wildlife its sad I haven't seen many honey bees this year.

Beautiful pics! The coleus have been keeping the bees busy!

They love it always zipping around it and thank you @columbiariver

💜

I tried to collect what I could seed wise today from my #coleus .. Won't know for sure how much I got of them tho till dry more . I love the #foliage on this one

Hope it works for you! Love this one to!💘😍

It's pink with burgundy! Oh love it. I have so many I'm in love with. Are you doing cuttings too? It was recommended to me because seeds don't come true to original...usually. I'm confused because I have cuttings, but what do I do with them all winter while they grow?

I'm not sure if they come true or not ..this was from a mixed seed pack and I grew them together so they probably won't with cross pollination. I and thinking of doing a cutting of it but I struggled last year with so many plants indoors and a lot didn't make it. I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope i get some true to plant seeds in this mix. @columbiariver just take a few cuttings and keep with your other plants near grow lights or windows. I might do a cutting later on for this one and keep it

It with another plant that's taller maybe my Hawaiian ti plant its tall so it should have enough room

That's a good plan Cyndi. Funny thing, I'm doing much less indoors this winter too. Wasn't worth the outcome for us. 💜

It was to stressful for me. I'm going to protect what absolutely needs protection but rest I'm gonna cover outside.seeds I'm going to probably put a lot that naturally would drop and then grow from seed the following spring in the garden seed wise. Direct sow.. @columbiariver but I have. Lot of cleaning to do first and since hand is almost healed I'll finally be able to work on them. Xo

And I wasted a good amount of starts. I don't think it's really worth the postage for most plants. There are some that we just have to share, like brugs! We love our brugs and others, but seeds work in most cases.

Someone yanked a few #coleus out a container tossed on other side of the road.

Someone took your coleus and just tossed them!?😲💘😍

Yeap just yanked and tossed @ShelleySnyder .. I put them in another pot cus still had it roots

Unbelievable!😠💘😍

I told the landlord again and showed the evidence pics etc. And i told everyone I saw if I catch you I'm gonna whoop your ass. Stop screwing around for your own stupid pranks and amusement... Period. @ShelleySnyder ive had enough

👍💘😍

That's just plain meanness. I can't understand it either. We're all behind you sweetie. Chin up. Don't let them see you sweat it.

Thanks @columbiariver

😯🏏🤺🔫

Hope this flowers soon and set seeds cus its so pretty. Now i just need to try collect some seeds off all my others lol #coleus

Love it!!💘😍

Me too its my oddball one the only one out of the mixed seeds that was red and gold so i hope it makes seeds for me @shelleysnyder

Lovely autumn colours 🍂🍁

Thanks Kerry @kez001uk

They are very pretty!! You’ve had a great year as far as having many beautiful flowers and plants all that hat hard work did pay off!! Great job cyndi!!! All until u broke your finger but sometimes we need a rest and things happen for a reason. I still can’t get over ur Cannabinus Hybiscus WOW😊💕

Thanks you @terrimclaughlin

A few #seeds fell into my hand as I was looking at my #coleus #seeds-coleus #coleus-foliage #leaf

Thats awesome @Sussanah

Great capture!

Thank you @ShelleySnyder @KariSamuel

Very welcome Cyn!💘😍

My poor #coleus is looking rough with this #heat and lack of enough rain. We get some but not enough to really water them well. And I tried to move to water hose one handed not happening now anyways ..maybe soon when hand is not so tender. its so stinking #humid outside it feels hotter than the actual temp says the #realfeel is 110•f 63%

This was a #huge #bee on my #coleus-flowers it kept it wings out the whole time and it has an extra long #beebutt lol I could get a good pic so I could try Id it . def some type of #bumblebee #wildlifewednesday- #wildlifewednesday #wildlife #natureisamazing

Thank you John @ukjohnny

#coleus-flowers

Not sure which one this is. But it sure is pretty #coleus

Lovely colours 😋

Thanks Kerry @kez001uk

Kong Red possibly? I think the leaf shape is different from what I've got. 🤔

I don't think its that one Kari @KariSamuel

I'm gonna just beat👊🏻🤛🏻 the crap out someone maybe they will leave my stuff alone!!! I was walking out door to walk duke and heard something walked around to see what was going on why people were in front of my area and they were gone but this and few other plants destroyed!!! Livid!!! This was my tall #coleus that was waist high. Some of the branches are broke as well on it 😭🙍🏼😤

That’s so messed up when people do that if it happens again u should make a police report cause it might b some one close I did that after my neighbors boyfriend took a bat or something to my big bougainvillea and I waited til about 6 so people were home. That’s terrible to bad you don’t have a pellet gun!!!! I have a motion light I know you have to b careful with ur money but sometimes their about $25 that might help it goes right in where your porch light is. Hope it was a one time random th

I'm sorry cindi they have no concept of the effects the action has on humans and wild life bees ect. ((Huggs)).

🤬 I’d get my paintball gun out and nail their butts! Or at least put a ‘warning’ sign in my yard and then do it lol

😖😖😖😖💘😍

Unless I have actual proof the cops have already told me there nothing I can do but they did say why don't I just get rid of them all and only keep a few in pots in my front yard. Idiots thats what they are @terrimclaughlin

Thanks Judy @ripjuju xoxo no they don't wish they did. Xoxox

Lmao @Branden wish I could afford one I would do just that.

Oh no! I don’t see how this could have happened accidentally. People just do not care for other people’s things. 😡😡

They don't care..even told the landlord. Can't prove it.. then nothing they can do ..but they won't anyone cus its all their family living here. Not the first time this has happened. @ohhyouknow Wish I had my own land lol

Sorry you are being distressed by mean people. 🐨🕊🦋

Thanks @Annettenoosa

Letting them put on #flowers now maybe I'll get seeds from them all. Fingerscrossed

Very nice Cyn!💘😍

Thanks Momma @ShelleySnyder

Welcome Cyn!💘😍

#closeup of #coleus-flowers #blooming #coleus #twotone

They are intriguing up close aren't they!💘😍

They are so pretty up close. Shelley @shelleysnyder Ive had people twll me well there not very pretty... Guess they have a different standard of beauty than i do. I think these are darling and very pretty. But it does take being a tad closer to them to see it.

To me they they look like very tiny fairy spades with white handles lmao

I agree with you Cyn! But you do need to be a little close to them!😁💘😍

I didn't know #coleus flowers

like this

Yeap they sure do. I usually pinh the flowers so the plant gets fuller. This plant is up to my waist in size so I let it bloom. @mariomartins

If you wait for those babies to dry you'll have seeds 😉

Thanks Jenn @jennlamaye

Decided to let a few of my #coleus go to flower for any bees or butterflies since I dont have a whole lot of blooms left in my yard. #pretty little flowers on these.

Hopefully these will set some seeds so ill have some for nexr year.

I had no idea they flowered 😮😮😮 makes them even higher up on my growing list next year 😁 they’re gorgeous flowers Cyndi 💜

The bees love the flowers 🐝

Yeap they sure do Kerry @kez001uk but i dont let mine flower untill the plnt gets larger and near end of season. You pinch the blooms and buds off to give the plant a chance to get larger. This one is up to my waist in size. Not even larger due to flower heads. Xoxo good luck growing them you can get addicted theres so many types styles and colors of them lol Shelley @shelleysnyder has loads of them. Lol

Yeap the bees sure do @Annettenoosa

@cyndi sounds like the best way to do it so you get to enjoy both parts of the plant. I didn’t know they got so big either! Can’t wait to have some next year 😁 I always look at the ones @ShelleySnyder has and they’re stunning 😍

@kez001uk there is a lot of coleus that get incredibly tall if you don't pinch them back or let them bloom, you'd be amazed Kerry!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder I didn’t have a clue. The only ones I’ve seen where I live are tiny and never get left long enough to flower. The things you learn being on this app!!! Really looking forward to growing some next year 😁

@kez001uk that's kinda strange cuz practically all mine will start blooming in about a month after getting them and I can't hardly find small ones!😂😂💘😍

@ShelleySnyder they plant up the roundabouts in my town with different coloured ones but they never seem to do much. I even suspected they were fake at one point 😂 I’ll have to try get photos, they’re beautiful but tiny

@kez001uk oh yes do try to get some pics!💘😍

#foliagefriday #foliage #multicolored

I adore coleus

Fabby Cyn!!💘😍

Me too @lagriffon

Thanks Shelley @shelleysnyder

So welcome Cyn!💘😍

#coleus around my baby #whiteoaktree

I love these 💕💚

Thanks @kez001uk was from a mixed seed pack on clearence

@cyndi think I’m going to give a couple of these a go next year. They add so much colour!

They sure do and if you look on here in the encyclopedia and the tags for it and online theres sooooo many types colors styles of it its amazing. These are just your average everyday not to fancy ones lol but still so pretty. You could prob find seeds on amazon cheap for a mixed set of them. @kez001uk

@cyndi I’ve been looking at seeds this morning. Gets tempting to have one of everything 🤣

I know right lmao i wish i had the money Kerry @kez001uk my yard would be over loaded with plants so full I would only have tiny pathways between plants and never really have torry about grass cutting lol

@cyndi would be the dream wouldn’t it! Leave just enough room to get to them all but cover the garden in every plant imaginable. Need to win the lottery 😉😂

Hellzzz yea ahhh that dream sounds lovely Kerry @kez001uk hahaha

I'd do the same & a fancy coleus collection would certainly form part of it 👌👍

Lol Def Jeff @jeatacake

For reference in size of this plant thats my waist in picture and im standing straight. Btw that was a hard pic to take hahahaha this #plant is in the #ground #coleus

Wow! That's really a tall one!💘😍

Ive been taking the flower heads off Shelley @shelleysnyder its doing better than all the other ones I have. It was from one I accidentally broke so stuffed it in the ground and watered it well.

I think you have the magic touch cyn!😄💘😍

Hahaha not with everything tho sad to say @shelleysnyder

Pretty damn close to everything!💘😍

Well thats kind of you to say gardenqueen. Lol @shelleysnyder

I think I've been decrowned!😉💘😍

Snort hahahaha naw never @shelleysnyder

Your pretty darn good cyndi for. @ShelleySynder to say that. But those are huge well you know where to keep planting them 😊💕

Lol thanks Terri @terrimclaughlin

Beautiful 👍

Well she got way bigger than I thought she would. And survived the plants being trampled #coleus

Creepy skinny #spider on my #coleus

Oh my god that is terrifying!!! Giving me nightmares and I’m still awake!!! 🤣

No worries it wont hurt ya. Unless your a bug @kez001uk lol

😨😰😱

@cyndi I thought the spiders we have were bad enough but this huge fella is something else!

Its not as big as it really looks its long thin but not really big like a wolf spider its body is thinner than the last spider pic i just put up. Its just creepier looking I guess lol how it lays out and that its got longer legs ...must be a modeling spider in the spider world..shes sunning hahaha @pelly @kez001uk

@cyndi Claudia schiffer in spider form 🤣🤣🤣

Sorry but it’s still 😱😱😱

Lmao @kez001uk

That's a weird looking thing, but lol @kez001uk 😂

@jeatacake terrifying! Spiders are the devil anyway but least ours here aren’t that scary!!!

No poisonous ones us the key here. I've been scared of spiders on my travels where I know there are poisonous ones 😲🕸😧🕷 @kez001uk

Shes gotten pretty big. Filled out nicely with a few pinches here and there. #coleus

Thanks Jeff @jeatacake its from a mixed seed pack. Didnt I send ya some? I thought I did. Xo

You did, Rainbow mixed. Mine look a lot darker though. Will have to post an up to date photo

This is from same package type I sent you all the ones I have in this folder are from it as well. Some dark some real light Jeff @jeatacake

Most of mine are darker ones. Will show you tomorrow 👍

Not a very good mixed batch then ..Jeff @jeatacake if ya scroll you can see my darker ones as well

Ah yes. Mine are darker than that even. Don't know why? Seen some very fancy ones though on here this year

I know some are drool worthy @jeatacake lol makes me wanna quit gt because im becoming an addict hahaha ooh shoot i forgot I am a plantaholic already lmao i keep wish listing.

Plants & GT are incurable addictions I'm afraid. There's no hope for us. We're doomed! 😆😆😆

An addiction I can live with at least. Jeff @jeatacake

Me too! 😆
