First day of spring update...
I ended up storing these in the crawlspace under my house -and guess what?! After 5 months in the dark, through the worst winter for this area in 60 years...I think there's life in there!
Begonia (Begonia 'Fannie Moser')
It's not a pile of black mush anyway.
I've brought these up into the light, but now I'm wondering...should I water lightly now, or wait a bit?
They've been kept dry all winter...
