'Fairy.' I'm in love!

Wow Tiffany, how unique it is, I can see why you it

I just love the way the leaves look so happy in this pic.


'Beefsteak' Begonia spent the summer here:


And stupid Jack Frost is coming or threatening to the next 2 nights, so it's been moved to this hanging pot, with a big, fat stem of the same kind as my 1st pic in this post.

I hope Jack doesn't visit your neck of the woods, he hasn;t even shown up here yet, I think Mother Nature is a bit confused lately

Begonia 'Cypress' (same as the one at the top of this page from fall 2016).
(under fluorescents in basement)

Begonia 'Dragon Wing Red'
(grew outside till too cold)

Beautiful! I'm glad I sheltered the Begonia. Jack didn't show, but it was within a few degrees - well within the margin of error for current ability to predict temps!

'Beefsteak' bloom.

Congrats on your bloom Tiffany

I thought this was happy before, but there are a lot more blooms now.

So very pretty I've been having a pity party, winter just wont go away, we are still having nights in the low 30's, my plants are so confused, one day its spring, the next day its winter Send some heat up north

TY! It's supposed to be 40° here tonight, but it will just be for an hour or so, then it will bounce back quickly. But I saw that there should be serious frost quite far south, that's just crazy & cruel @ this time of year! I'm going to look on the bright side & assume it will encourage more blooming in some of these early blooming plants. It usually just gets so hot so quick, early bloomers sometimes seem to get cut short.

It's the same here Tiffany, although I do think that I'm going to place a frost cover or some other covering over my houseplants that are outdoors. They are not coming back inside for one night. Then it will be the same thing for one night next Saturday. It's crazy!

Now that it has been warm & humid for a few weeks, Begonias started growing so fast they look bigger almost daily.

I'm not supposed to be in love with this plant, with its' non-variegated leaves, but B. coccinea (the plain species, as far as I can tell,) wows me anyway.


Some in this pot too.


This stem is around 3 feet tall (back side of previous pic.)


This stem is starting to grow branches at every node near the base.


Some stems are starting to bloom. They're hidden until they dangle down enough to get below the leaves.



The more this good ol' wax Begonia fills the surface of this pot & dangles over the edge, the more I love it. And so many blooms! If my memory serves, it's all from 2 tiny cuttings stuck in this pot somewhere around 2 years ago.



And I feel like a serious idiot (not a jovial, goofball idiot, right? LOL!) for keeping 'Corallina de Lucerna' in so much sun for almost a decade. Look at how much more pretty and intensely colorful she can be in just an hour or so of morning sun.

Very nice pics and explanations! Thank you!

Lovely plants I just love the different Begonias.

TYVM, Greg & Holly!

All of these Begonias (9 plants) found on clearance for just $3! They should take off in the ground, and I'll be sticking cuttings in pots now that I've seen how wonderfully wax Begonias can cover the soil surface under taller potted entities, and dangle over the side. I love dangling plants, especially of course in hanging pots, and others who also do could also consider using the ubiquitous, inexpensive, undemanding wax Beg in that way.

A few current pics, B. coccinea, 'Beefsteak' & wax Begonia gone wild. I asked it to cover the sides of the fugly pot (a 5-gallon bucket) and it's doing its' best to oblige.






'Corallina de Lucerna' in a combo pot on front porch. I can see this pot from inside, where the gorgeous reddish orange leaf backs are more visible.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful plant photos, Tiffany.

I'm glad you think so! TY for the kind comment.
