East Basket: Begonia 'Bonfire' and Lobelia estrella azul

A great group this is turning out to be. The lobelia has just opened to show a nice strong blue, perfect with this fiery begonia.

Begonia 'Bonfire', a part to full sun begonia that I have loved from day1. I'm really getting a better performance now the blue lobelia is contrasting it.

Your Begonia 'Bonfire' looks great! Mine died last year in our late fall heat wave...it cooked! I had it for 11 years.

It´s so good to see and hear, that summer came to Your far place... With all the summer beauties. Lovely plants.

Thank you Nelke. We feared a late summer, I planted a week later than I could have, but its been a solid 60-70F day average and 19 daylight hours. It comes to us in a big rush. I am soooo glad too.

Thanks! I just purchased a new one for $3.00 a couple of days ago. I hope it lives for a long time like my last one.

This looks awseome. I bought a tuber this year and planted it, because they are supposed to be marginally hardy here for me and It never came up..:-(. We've had an unusally wet spring and I think it rotted before it got warm enough for it to sprout. I'll just have to visit your posts when I'm missing mine...lol

Another loss. :-( Sorry. Sure will be wonderful if it were to naturalize in your garden FC. I'm sure loving it. What a color explosion! :-)

Yes it is GT, after a second look at yours, I've already decided to order me another on next year....lol. I just got to have one, it's my favorite color !
