I love going to the Disney area! The gardens are always so beautiful. The coleus is everywhere this summer! I don't know exactly which varieties these are, but the contrast in color is gorgeous. Along the entrance and throughout the valet area were these huge hanging baskets. Each basket had a quarter inch black irrigation hose wrapped around the handle. At around 3-4pm each day, the coleus began looking very strained. It was around 94-95 degrees each day. When containerized, coleus just cannot handle that heat. I should have taken more photos of the gardens by the pool. Everything is labelled so you know what you're looking at. They are OCD for bromeliad. I bet they had 30 diff. varieties near the pool. Dwarf mondo grass was used instead of grass frequently. If you're in the area, stop by and take a look at the gardens.
As a side note: Disney Boardwalk's garden did not impress me. It usually does. A friend even noticed paint chipping off some of the planters. Paint chipping....at Disney...?
