  25-07-2019 23:56

• Gardening: Colorful coleus is easy to grow and comes in many varieties

  25-07-2019 21:55
  
  Gardeners are a curious, rebellious group. We thrive on the exotic and tend to avoid plants that are either familiar, easy to grow, or both.
  How else to explain the relative absence of coleus from our gardens? Not only are coleus (Plectranthus scutellarioides) easy to grow, but they propagate more easily than any other plant species. Furthermore, no plants are more colorful or have more unusual leaf patterns or, in many cases, more whimsical leaf margins — reminiscent of the fingers and to

  Tim Ho Wan opened not long ago at Irvine’s Diamond Jamboree, and people keep calling this Hong Kong-based chain a Michelin-starred restaurant. 
  The Irvine branch of Tim Ho Wan does not have a Michelin star. And if the Michelin inspectors in California have any credibility whatsoever, they won’t consider it for even a Bib Gourmand, the guide’s designation for really good restaurants that don’t quite rise to the level of their stars.
