Delightful....just plain delightful!

Well, to begin with those Begonias look like little ghost clouds in the pic. In real life are they a sort of "metallic" coloured?

The Coleus I find perhaps the most interesting. I have never seen a coleus with leaves shaped like that. How tall is this plant? Fascinating plant,this one.

The variegated plants that you featured are pretty nice as well.

Then that plant with pink undersides to the leaves. Do you know that I actually had one of these in my hands at the garden center a few weeks ago when I was looking for a new plant for over by the window!(yes, as an indoor plant here).

And the ferns: I do quite like ferns. In the second fern pic there one sees one of the Adiantum sorts which I especially like. I saw many of these down in Southern Spain when I lived there. The most common place that I saw them was down in aljibe's.
They are beautiful and delicate and in my opinion show themselves best standing alone with a dark background

thank u all. yes, the begonia has a silvery sheen to it. the coleus comes upto two feet. and the leaves form a spiral actually.
i am not sure of the name glendann, i will find out soon and write next time.
i like my plants out in the open. rarely do i keep them inside. i am sure the plant with pink underside would look great inside the house!but with our hot climate, it is likely to wilt very fast. or i will have to carry them in and out evrery two days. anyway, i may try that one of these days. thanks a lot guys.
