Red, Green and Violet

In my opinion, its some variety of coleus plant.The one that I am having at my home is red with narrow green edges.This one is more green.But one thing is for sure, I love this plant! It has most beautiful leaves I have ever seen.
This is perhaps my first serious attempt at leaves, and it was intimidating..Leaves are tough creatures to handle and I am yet to be friends wih them:)
I was contemplating whether it was good enough to post, than I decided to leave the judgement to you!

    It is just lovely, Arti. I do love the colors you've used. And I think the size is good. I'll bet it is very impressive when one can see it in person.

    Its good enough to post, no doubt. I can imagine that leaves are tough subjects and I should say that you did a good job with them. The colours are fabulous. I like the compostion very much too.

    You've been quite right to post them, Arti. The colors are wonderful and the gradation from violet to green has been very well handled. Congratulations!

    Good enough! I find it interesting that you have these leaves, another blogger I follow had something similar and I have one started very similar! Maybe we were all inspired by the interesting colors and texture of the leaves??? (Or is it something in the air!!!!)

    Thank you, friends.frankly, I was not very happy with this one- it didn't come out as good as I had expected it to be! But I am glad all of you found time to see and appreciate the effort.This is what keeps me going! I think i will paint the leaves in oils this time, to get more striking colors!
