I had to stop by here quick this morning because I LOVE Begonias! I've had a number of them in the past but they don't do well in the low humidity of our house over the winter so I've also lost a lot over the years. I don't give up though, every year I find a few beauties I can't resist and add them to the collection. I've got quite a few photos from the past I'll dig up to share and try to take a few of the new ones I've got on the decks now.

Christine - 'Fireworks' has always been one of my favorites but alas, also one of those I lost a few years back.

Carol - your B. luxurians is to die for! Another one I wasn't able to keep alive for more than a year. I'm not familiar with B. felicifolia although it may have been one of the ones I admired at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens on one of our visits.

Carey - I had never seen 'Gryphon' before but found HUGE pots at Home Depot earlier this summer. Such a deal, only $7.00 - who could resist? It's one of those on our front deck and it's doubled in size since I bought it!

Alan - Cissus discolor is a beauty! I had a gorgeous one about five years ago but lost it the following year. They're hard to find but DH surprised me with one he found in Michigan this summer and it's absolutely beautiful. I'm really hoping I can keep it alive for more than one year. Here's a pic I could find quickly of the one I used to have.
