Introducing Peachy Begonias!


Introducing Peachy Begonias!

These begonias slowed down when they were largest on the planter, then took off again once the surrounding plants filled in. Finally coming into bloom at a whopping 16inches. Here I meant for them to be tall against the rail as they are, at the new place, they are almost ponderous!

Ponderous........ now there's a good word, and very apt.
Will you save the begonias for next year ?

Thank you. I love these boxes, they are doing so well. :-)

Val, I haven't had much luck saving begonias. Last year I tried cold storage, but only one survived and poorly that. With the new house I'm getting a grip on my winter storage before attempting again. Ponderous, fits this years begonias perfectly. ;-)
