Sunset Beach Genus Solenostemon (guess) Apr 30 2012
A new species has arrived at Sunset Beach here in Vancouver. A plant that's quite cute and not yet in bloom to the point that I can identify it. I'm pretty certain it's part of the same tribe as the Coleus plant (genus Solenostemon) which, as any bachelor knows, is the best plant to get for the first apartment. Coleus = looks good - tolerant of forgetful waterers and one that actually flowers.
It's also a species that's highly invasive and it will be interesting to see how long it takes the city to pick up on the invasion and, being a green city, what it does to ... err ... combat? ... it. Bottom line though - it's quite pretty and I can't wait to identify it.
And it's time for some color gosh darn it! Black and White is the power equation of photography, no question, but there is more than 10 to the 32 shades of IRHDR gray. :)
