I am experiencing gardening through those blog posts!

But I'd certainly love to have begonia in it. Your plants are beautiful! I love the dark-leaf variety especially.<br />Also, James, thank you SO much for your very generous comment on my blog.

Do get the cane type which is not annuals. These last very long, and when the signs of maturity sets in, trim & replant.James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-48779325284126303742011-07-28T16:42:03.855+08:002011-07-28T16:42:03.855+08:00Hi James, Your Begonia looks so healthy, I try so ...Hi James, Your Begonia looks so healthy, I try so many times but never success with this plant.

But your begonias are still looking very good. Sometimes plants really want to be kept alone, to develop the microclimate they need for good growth. Now, at least you know what they need, they are just like children, we are just there for support. Learning their requirements is the main objective. haha! welcome back!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.com
