I really need to think of some better names for my garden areas… :-) This flower bed surrounds a giant poplar stump and is an island bed near the edge of the woods. Last year I planted mixed colors of coleus in it, this year it has two colors of coleus, salvia I grew from seed, perilla, and elephant ears. There are also coneflowers and a few hostas in this bed, along with some perennial geraniums, columbines, and purple shamrocks. Click photos to enlarge.

I changed themes here on the blog and I’m not sure if I like it or not… anyone else have an opinion? :)
