Love those colors! Is it a coleus? Did you adjust the color? Because I've never seen a blue one - lol #488904

Holly Shao July 22, 2006

Thank you so much, Monique, also for teaching me the name for this plant. I just love photographing flowers and plants, but really have a lot to learn about their names. Yes, I've replaced the color and that may be why I would call it 'costume.' Just hope there could such a blue one for you and me :).

Also, just in case you feel interested, you may go to this Web site to learn about coleus:

Nice image. I like the color adjustments you made. It looks like a fabric pattern.

Beautiful colors, detail and light, Holly! I think you should crop the darker area from the top of the image and try it again as a resubmit...could be a winner the next time! #4228684
