Lucky you Carol!

The 'gryphon' begonia that I picked up a few weeks ago had really put out some lovely new foliage. It loves where I have it on my front porch where it gets limited morning sun. The dragon wing next to it I guess is a little more particular about that limited sunlight. Maybe I'll turn the pot a bit.

Carey, do you have any pictures of the new plants you bought?

Jacquie I will have to get back to you with pictures. My current computer doesn't have a way of pulling pictures and my laptop is dead. I did take a few and will get them up sometime today. (there are no blooms right now - they're all recovering from not having been watered for almost two weeks)

I understand, but I love looking at the leaves of some of these begonias and I had purchased an entire collection that did not do well and I am now looking for a select few that can be used to take cuttings and resell. My old cain like is perfect for that and that baby has paid for itself over and over. It is getting more difficult finding plants that will be fast growers and still be easy to take care of and use as stock plants. I am patient, Thanks . Have a nice weekend.

Here is one that LOVES the shade...and lots of water. A friend of mine grows this in deep rich soil under a huge tree and the 'head' of leaves is about 2' across... B. luxuriens

WOW, so beautiful Carol The picture couldnt be any clearer... Thanks for sharing

Sorry it took me so long! Here is the Gryphon and the red dragon wing (still looking a little peaked after being ignored for 2 weeks)

Ok...here's another pic of B. luxuriens and a close up of B. felicifolia...I love how the branches arch...

I think they look pretty good Carey for being ignored for 2 weeks

Carol, your not only great with your plants, your great behind your camera

Carol that one is gorgeous! I'd love to have something like that!

Thank you Christine! It helps that they've gotten a few drinks since I'm back. The gryphon actually bounced back much more quickly and is putting off all sorts of new growth.

I've been away for 11 days, and my cane-like is looking pretty sad - only has 6 leaves, having lost 3, and it's leggy.........

Susan, mine looked the same way when I got back. Give 'em a good soaking and it'll bounce right back!

oh, I know it will - they're hardy things! The stem looks great, just no leaves
In a few weeks I'll get the leaves back...

Here are a few of mine in the shade house a little bit of everything mostly begonias one of my favorite
plants. I think this is last years pictures I have taken pictures of this year I will have to find them.

Barb - don't know why, but when I click on the pics, they don't get bigger. I wonder if it's because there are two?

I have to find that Begonia fireworks, that is to die for...just lovely!!

Alan

I cant enlarge the pictures either Barb, I would love a closer view of your incredible collection

The day I've been waiting for has come as a big surprise to me. I turned my begonia last night and I found flowers, pretty in pink I'm so excited.....

nice!!

Beautiful! Love the leaves on that Begonia Christine!! Do you know the name of it?
