My window sill as of this past Sunday


Lobelia. These are supposed to be blue flowers


I don't know what this is yet, but I have two of them


The mutant plant that won't bloom. I don't know what this is, either.

Remind me, what did you sow this year?

the prostrate one could be allysum...

I forgot. It's in another thread somewhere.

That I know it isnt, because they have stringier looking leaves and I ended their miserable lives over a month ago.

Lavender Lady from two seed companies

Campanula Isophylia
California Poppy
Ageratum
Alyssum (it better flower this year)
Centaurea

the trailing could be Campanula

the upright with heart shaped leaves baffles me for the present..

And that lobelia is blue, to me..

Nah. Blue is this message board. The moment red is noticeable in the mix, then it's not blue to me anymore.

A friend who came to visit yesterday suggests the wrong seeds might have been placed in a packet. She thinks the big ones are colei, especially since they like to play dead if I don't water them twice a day (I have to give them a little water in the morning. One evening I came home to major droopage and the shorter one playing dead). But I don't see it.

btw they've both been transplanted into larger pots of plastic.

Addendum: The taller one is now over 2 feet (2/3 meter)

Hmm, leaf shape is right, but Coleus are bred for their multi-coloured leaves, and these are plain. If it's getting too tall, pinch out the leading shoot, that'll encourage it to get bushy instead.

I deliberately am not pinching it to determine the potential height. I have that second one which is pinched. However, both are generating full growth.

I thought there were monochrome coleus as well, but the leaves aren't shaped coleus-like enough.

btw someone is growing crocosmia again - someone call the fire dept.
