Brigitte's wondrous Coleus plants! She began tending this tropical perennial last year; it was rather pretty then, too, but this year, the Coleus wins our first prize for most colorful and striking. The Coleus thrives in tropical Africa, Asia, Australia, Malaysia, in the Phillipines—and in Detroit? So it seems. Unless it's all to do with Brigitte's green thumb.
The plaque above it is worth a closer look too:
We got around to taking the photos of our glorious Coleus just as summer decided abruptly to depart on a hot and muggy day, ushering in an autumn that occurs only every twenty-years: the harvest moon was full last night. And, as a special bonus, we could see Jupiter immediately beneath it marking the six o'clock spot.
