Cleo

cleo.jpg

Meet Cleo, the hirsute companion of Ray Rogers. Ray is the coleus guy you've read about here and in the paper (hope so). This portrait of Cleo was taken after she thwarted my attempt to sit down. Like a lot of plants and some cars, she's a hybrid. Lovely disposition.

Speaking of Ray and his coleus, I've had a lot of calls and emails asking how to contact Atlock Flower Farm, where he raises a huge array of great coleus. Atlock Flower Farm is in Somerset, N.J. Website is http://atlockfarm.com/, phone is 732 356 3373.

Say hi to Cleo.
