    Thank you all for comments.I think the Swinging Linda Coleus is my all time fav.The variegated fuchsia is hard to find here.I have seen it offered as a large plant at a very high price.

    It is so very nice to see green and all the colors on this little downtime. What a pleasure, sewNsow. Thank you.

    Here are a couple more pictures I took yesterday.
    Green & white variegated Irisene.
    And Mahogany Giant Hibiscus blooming as a cutting.
    This would be a stunner if it would bloom outside as a 6 feet tall plant in garden.

    SNS How do heat your green house ? Been hinting to make one in our mud room. But only have one smaller size south window. Got pipe installed. and got extra wood burner.got 4 big container in there now.
    But love your colors-think that would make winter go by faster.Even though not been bad so far.

    Hi KK,We heat the greenhouse with a little woodstove.The stove is on an enclosed entry porch.Just have open window & door & heat goes out. This is all off our kitchen.
    I don't know how much light you would get with no southern exposure.You guys are so handy you could do it on the cheap.
    You will never regret getting a plant space or greenhouse.It can be 10 below & you walk out there & it is just like summer(on sunny day ,of course LOL).
