You may be right about the snails. I am having a terrible problem with them eating lotus leaves. I just bought copper tape to put around the lotus pot, maybe I will try it on the ti's.

Everyone's begonias are filling out nicely! I had quite a few kick the bucket at the end of the indoor season. The roots could be alive still on some of them. I will stick them in the ground somewhere and see if they grow. I'm sure one or two will. I don't think I will dig them up for next winter though. This will be their last hurrah.

@LorettaNJ It's always worth a try, I've done that many times and have some that completely surprise me. Crossing Fingers!

Sherri, I have done it a few times in the past. They start doing well but so far, they never liked going back into a pot and that was that.

Reviving this thread, let's see everyone's begonias now that the flush of summer growth has happened.
This is my massive plant of B. Tiger Kitten with lots of black slashes on the newer leaves. I absolutely must divide this baby pretty soon, it's getting too big to handle.
