    >Begonias in the Winter Window are a perfect topic this time of year. As I walked through our greenhouses today, what really caught my attention were the many varieties of begonias that were just popping with color and form. The Angel Wing Begonias, named…
  56. Rex Begonias: Parenchyma and Propagation Thu 26 Jul 2012 - Originally posted on The Green Thumb 2.0:
    Rex Begonia Rex begonias – the “king” of the begonias – are plants with their own unique look. These begonias aren’t grown for their blossoms; they’re grown for their foliage which comes in various shapes and colors. Rex begonias are great houseplants and they grow well in outside pots…

    When Mother’s Day comes, we find ourselves back into the little kids’ corner, letting our imagination run wild, making little mud cakes and planting colorful flowering plants to scream how much childhood is still lingering through our veins. Here are some fun projects for this week: Bring the Bromeliads,…

  59. Begonias–My New Favorite Flower Sun 15 Jul 2012 - Originally posted on The Home Ec Teacher:
    It is official, the begonia has passed the day lily as my favorite flower.  Maybe it is because they require even less care than the day lily or maybe because the deer have not eaten them, so I have actually seen a begonia bloom as opposed to the…

  61. Reiger Begonias Sun 15 Jul 2012 - Originally posted on photoplusbyritasim:
    With around 1,500 species, Begonia is the sixth largest genera of flowering plants. The American Begonia Society classifies begonias into several major groups: cane-like, shrub-like, tuberous, rhizomatous, semperflorens (or wax begonias), rex, trailing-scandent, thick-stemmed. Reiger Begonias are a hybrid cross between tuberous and wax Begonias. They are not known in truly…
  62. Beguiled by Begonias Thu 12 Jul 2012 - The Frustrated Gardener I expect it’s desperately unfashionable to say so, but I do love a nice Begonia. They are easy on the eye, diverse and sometimes dramatic, but normally easy to grow, appreciating a little bit of shade. So I was instantly drawn to Dibleys’ magnificent display of Begonias and Coleus at last week’s […]

    Remember my post on large flowered tuberous begonias about a month ago? http://gardenpr0paganda.wordpress.com/2011/04/24/large-flowered-begonias/ Well they were well overdue for potting up which is unfortunate because my trip to England is in three days and I have about a million things to do before I leave. These Begonias are busting out…

    As much as I lament the loss of my old balconies full baking sun one cool benefit is the ability to grow some shade plants.  Now if I have my choice between big double flowers and dainty little natural species flowers I will usually pick the latter.  But for some…
