Begonia Illuminations

Thats a beauty isnt it.

Thanks Cinders.

Begonias are definitely growing on me, they come in such wondeful colours.

Not really been my thing either Lulu but bought these as plug plants and have been worth the wait.

By the way, dogs ARE going to be bridsmaids. ;0))

Oh goody! Pics please!!

What a lovely display!

Will do Lulu, but its not until Oct.

Thanks Sheilar.

Gorgeous colour!!

Thanks Paul.

:)))))))))))

That's gorgeous Val and I'm green with envy. Do you remember I ordered some of these in the Spring (or was it last year? LOL) and we were going to share but they were sold out? Glad you got some after all and I'll def make sure I get some next year :o))

Yes Lily, I remember now but I think it was last year, ( where does the time go ?)
A few weeks ago I was beginning to think maybe I hadn't bothered but they have come on all at once which is just as well as some of my baskets are looking a bit frazzled! x

Im really getting into begs now, I bought some more this year and they look fantastic, Huge flowers, (They are double's) I think it must be the rain, I like these Illuminations Valadel, ill look out for them next spring..Gorgeous..

You're right Val it was last year, now I remember. I was tempted again this year but thought "where will I put them?" But we can always squeeze plants in if we really want to can't we! Looking forward to seeing them for real :o))

Thanks YD, I shall deffo get some more next year, double ones too on your recommendation . :0))

Lily, my ones are best in the 16" basket, I'm sure you could find room for one. Didn't you have a fab trough full of begs last year ?

Yes I did Val but this year they grew to even more gigantic proportions and got wrecked by the weather. If the decrepit trough lasts another year I'm definitely going to give these a go. :o))

Ahhh boo Lily, poor Begs! I thought they liked the rain?

Not when they're about 3' tall! LOL I don't know if I'll be able bring myself to throw the tubers away though, they're huge too. Or I could grow them in a sunny spot then maybe they won't grow so big.
