| BEGONIAS
Dave Morris is a begoniaholic. Dave is one of several fantastic growers employed by Baker’s Acres and he is quite fond of all things begonia. His collection even exceeds what we can list here. Admittedly, the variety of leaf shapes, colors, and textures of the begonia family is quite amazing, but Dave can hardly speak two words before turning the entire conversation back to begonias. OK, we’re kidding about that last part. We’re kidders. Here are many of Dave’s babies, each one his favorite.

THOSE WACKY COLEUS
Coleus are the Hawaiian shirts of the plant world. They are those gaudy little plants with the multicolored leaves that you remember from visiting your grandmother’s house and they seem to come in and out of favor. Currently they are popular, mostly because they can be used just about anywhere and provide an anchor of color and/or texture in beds and containers. They shine as either the stars or the supporting players in garden combos. Several years ago they changed the name to Solenostemon, but in a blatant act of taxonomic defiance, we refuse to call them anything but Coleus. Our collection of named varieties is far beyond the bounds of sanity at about 150, give or take 20. The sad thing is, people keep bringing us new ones. Even sadder is the fact that we keep coming up with new ones of our own. Recently, a fun new flower brand, Hort Couture, picked eight of our varieties to feature in their new line of coleus distributed nationally. And if ya think that’s somethin’, how about this. Baker’s Acres is featured in the book by Ray Rogers, ‘Coleus - Rainbow Foliage for Containers and Gardens’, available at fine bookstores everywhere. We think we’re pretty hotsy-totsy now.
The following varieties marked with an asterisk are Baker’s Acres originals.
