These little fibrous ones do sulk pretty badly in the heat of summer, but then they come back nicely once it cools off and are wonderful for winter color spots in my shady border. Patty brought me another one in the spring that I thought was a goner by August, but it's looking much better now.
I still have several Sophie Cecile, and two large plants of Don Miller (both starts from Alice, years ago) going here, plus a few others like the water lily begonia with big, velvety leaves, (looking too ratty for a pic, after last week's storm) metallic Looking Glass and an almost-black one called Elaine in the pool cage. They're such fun to propagate, and I'm always breaking off a cutting or two. Did you bring some from SC, Alice? If not, I have lots for you, when you're into your permanent home.
Oops, sorry Ursula, didn't see your request for a new thread until I had posted this, but since it's a continuation of a previous one, I'll start the new thread with my next post.
