Coleus is one of the garden flowers I try to keep over winter in the garage since they are easy to start in the spring and are low maintenance. While my winter crop doesn't look too good, I decided it was worth a quick peek under the microscope. The following images show some of the details that are present. I find it interesting that the coleus leaves also have little "horns". It also seems that individual cells are colored completely--either all red or all green in the leaf I was looking at.
