I got this begonia from Laurel Hardware last spring. A strong grower, it is the mother of what I hope will be some interesting hybrids. The pollen, the fathers, came from several of my terrarium begonias.

Wax Begonia...purchased locally 2010

Just a humble Begonia; a wax, or fibrous-rooted Begonia, I believe.

I took a photo of a beautiful plant at my mother-in-law's house - Begonia Rex.

Have a vibrant Thursday! x

I could swear those pesky snails did all that damage in one nights. Let's hope those organic, pet safe, pelets I've put out work as claimed.

Begonia picta - at peak bloom

Begonia House, Bathurst, Easter 2007

Acetosa leaf cuttings so readily yield now plants. I am pleased the ones I planted in the garden are still doing well

Begonia flower (male). Focus stacked with zerene stacker

That was pretty fast,two or three weeks from pollination.

Unidentified Begonia potted in my shade garden.

Monrovia begonia blossoms in one of my wife's flower gardens.

This begonia is in the perfect wind protected and bright shaded spot to allow it to actually thrive outdoors, but still needs heavy protection from slugs and snails. Probably best in pots on a sheltered porch, but it does well here with the house blocking a bit of rain, as well as the palm fronds above it.
