Begonia in bloom in my garden.

End of season flower taken just before the snow and frost arrived.

Wax Begonia..Bought at Jewel's, 2010

Taken in the Botanical Gardens, Begonia House. BnW seemed the easiest way to bring out the contrast, the super saturated natural yellow seemed to hide everything. Converted to BnW in Lightroom, used a bit of black board to exclude the background.

Also been a bit of time since the last upload, it's not that I'm not taking photos, more that they only end up on FB...

Begonias in a hanging basket. I don't like the red ones - I like the bright orange ones.

Never mind the white spots on the leaf,

it's greenhouse paint that got splattered on the

leaf blade.

comprende circa un migliaio di specie di piante erbacee, perenni, sempreverdi o decidue. Altrettante sono le varietà e, addirittura, incalcolabili sono le cultivar. Hanno caratteristiche molto varie da specie a specie e vengono coltivate per il fogliame e/o per i fiori, nonché per la facilità di riproduzione e moltiplicazione. Le loro dimensioni vanno dai 10cm ai 3 m d’altezza. Possono avere portamento eretto, ricadente o rampicante. Il fusto di solito è carnoso con nodi rigonfi a livello dei quali partono le foglie asimmetriche, carnose, di forma e colore variabili. L’unica caratteristica comune a tutte le specie del genere è quella di essere piante monoiche: i fiori maschili e femminili si trovano sulla stessa pianta. I primi di solito sono caduchi, più appariscenti e formati da quattro petali ovali, due dei quali più corti; i secondi sono formati da quattro petali uguali, sono persistenti e presentano un ovario che dà origine a un frutto-capsula alato, a sezione triangolare, con molti semi finissimi.

Begonia is a very large genus of ca. 1500 species of herbs and subshrubs that occur predominantly in the tropical rainforests of both hemispheres. Unfortunately none of the species on display in the Domes were labelled, so I can't provide names. These photos, taken at the Mitchell Domes (and indoor conservatory) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, show four of the species currently on display.
