What is it, gardeners?
And is that coleus in the background? I didn't know you could grow it outdoors. I used to grow it as a house plant but now the only thing I can keep alive is spider plants - and one Christmas cactus.
My cactus, which I inherited from my mother, is thriving, so I'm too scared to repot it. It has been in the same pot with the same dirt for 30 years.

Maybe a Chinese Rose ‘Bengal Red’?
Coleus are AWESOME summer annuals. Check out the container plantings at University Village if you don't believe.
I don’t know about the feature plant, but coleus grows outside here in the summer, but the first hard frost will do it in.
if your Christmas cactus is alive and well take a hint from the Beatles -" let it be"
