surprising markings. Those two are the finest new sorts :

exquisitely colored, being a blending of yellow, crimson, 
pink, green, chocolate, etc. A grand specimen plant.

Coleus in having a wedge of creamy white in the center 
of the leaf with a clearly defined margin of oxide green, 
bronze, crimsom and purple. Perfectly fascinating.
