Hello parrotma32578. We have had some reports on this one. It's a beautiful picture, however I don't think it's velvet lime. It's probably Perilla. Look at these and see if you agree. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/55780/ Let me know and I will be glad to move it for you.

I have done some research and have come up with the following to describe my coleus:

Family: Lamiaceae (lay-mee-AY-see-ay) (Info)
Genus: Solenostemon (sol-en-oh-STEM-on) (Info)
Species: scutellarioides (skew-tell-ar-ee-OY-deez) (Info)
Cultivar: Fairway Rose

Notice that when the leaves first bloom, they are green with yellow & purple in the middle. As they mature (in the bright afternoon sun) the outside green gives way to the dark purple.

Please compare your photo to this one. Fairway Rose http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/118951/

It doesn't look like you plant.

Now compare your photo to this one. I believe this is what your plant is.
