I bought some from Glasshouse works last year and trying to find out which it really is.. this one was a small leaved and purpleish color .. not the blue that I have been looking for .. they are researching the one I have as well.. Hope to find this blue beauty someday
I posted two links with photos of the one from GlassHouse Works

I've never taken cod liver oil but I have heard it tasted horrible. It is always nice to find bad tasting stuff in pill form though

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Working at a wholesale greenhouse I see a lot of coleus. Plectranthus is a recent love affair and the 3 varieties I have are all great. This one looks intriguing. ! !

Thanks Helene, …and there you go – another plant that I have never heard of. How exciting! Dregea, does it bloom in the winter? I believe that most every vine is aggressive so that is just expected, but since it has fragrance- I must track one down. Thanks for sharing with us.

Lovely photos, and lovely coleus. I’ve got a plant like that, a plant people stop and say ‘oh, my goodness, what is that?!’ It is my Dregea sinensis, and I have yet to meet anyone who has this plant, except for where I got the cuttings from. I wrote about the Dregea 13th and 14th January, as this time of year is when it gets its yearly pruning 🙂
