Coleus At The Bottom Of The Steps

 I think this coleus of Mike's is really striking.  I like looking at it, every time I walk down the steps.

White Epiphyllum

 Two delicate blooms opened on this white epiphyllum.  Mike has many different epiphylums around the garden.  It's always a treat when they bloom, even if the blooms only last a day or two.

If you look closely you can see a bee hovering over the bloom on the left.

Begonia Chlorosticta, Red Form

 I've been growing this b. chlorosticta in a terrarium for almost a year.  It's been doing really well, and I've been able to propagate a few stem cuttings from it.  I think the red part of these two blooms are quite striking against the dark reddish-green leaves with their light green spots and edging.  There are some small blooms starting to develop and they could make a showy display!
