This is the begonia that I left out over winter. It has come back well, I think. Not so many flowers as when I first bought it from the GC - it was covered in blooms that lasted for months. I am waiting to see how many more flowers appear.

They are beautiful, aren't they? This one is doing really well now, with more flowers. It was a bit late, but seems to be catching up. I have decided to take it into the cold
greenhouse over winter and treat it like a fuchsia - let it more or less dry out and gradually start watering it in early spring. Then keep my fingers crossed!

It's lovely, even without many flowers. The foliage is gorgeous in it's own right.

It is, and has gone from strength to strength. It is now covered with flowers.

It is! I have managed to upload a recent photo (I'm on a steep learning curve with new hardware and software). I am extremely pleased with it .

I think that answers my question on the other pic, I should have looked at this pic first LOL

I hope it helps, Teds. I have posted a recent photo of this plant. It has been smothered in flowers for the last month or so - definitely worth over-wintering if poss!
