It's too late to but now no? I see them at the beginning of spring all over big box stores, which is the time I usually make my way there. I'll have to plant them early In a spot where they can just throw seed. I've never seen their flowers.

They still sell them up here,but then again we are in totally different climate zones.
The flowers are cool,they shoot out long spikes that look exactly like Salvia blooms

What is the placebo drug in coleus? I remember it being mentioned once. You can't use it to drug up, can you? It's magical on so many levels.

There is absolutely nothing psychoactive about that plant,unless your stoned and looking at it's array of beautiful colors,especially under a black light

This may be why you thought so.

That's probably it. Too beautiful a plant to eat however.

Looks like you had a great day out in a nice garden setting. It's taken a while to look at the pictures because I partied too hard on the weekend, thanks for uploading so many. I know it can be a pain in the arse. I like the part where you mentioned how you thought of people here. That's something I do constantly when out and about.
Botanical gardens are always on the list of things to do when I visit a new area. You never know what you're going to find and you always have a good time.

And the whole time I thought about everyone here. I made it a point to go picture crazy cause I wanted everyone to kinda get a feel about what it was like. I almost cried being there.
Thanks, man. Your happiness shines through your pictures.

No problem guys. I take everyone here where ever I go. Especially if there is plants that are so cool. Now I have to go to the sunken gardens in san antonio texas. That one I hear is This guy told me that if I go with my old lady I'll fall in love all over again. So it is definitely on my to do list.

I bet you they have many plants that grow in hot humid regions. Maybe salvia.

I can not wait to see!!!
I bet this isn't the only botanical garden there either.
Even though I have no use for Salvia personally,I would like to acquire one,just to see how well I could get one to grow there,and possibly get it to flower!

If you put a humidity dome over anything in Florida,it would be a humidity overlaid!
It's already super high,and drenching on the good days there
