At first I thought they were going the way of the ones I've had in the past, but I read all I could find on their care and changed my methods. The secret I believe is to water seldom and sparingly and to set the pots on a stone filled tray of water.

I was an avid gardener in our previous house, 5 years ago, but haven't had a chance to get to the garden here until now ... and now I'm really itching to get back into it.

I also have a small collection of begonias, but among them, only one is rex begonia,and I think it is the same as the one at the right in your second picture. The foliage of your rex is really nice and unique. I am also on the watch for different types of begonia. I wish I can have more shady space to accomadate more.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053337601505232620.post-5732429169709796832011-04-12T13:14:35.951+10:002011-04-12T13:14:35.951+10:00What interesting leaves, and delicate flowers!!

I'm like a prowler at the nurseries now ... always popping in to see if I can spot one! Heaven help any other shopper who gets in my way if I do find a different variety!<br /><br />Flowerlady ... everything about them is just great. I really enjoy looking after them.<brBernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053337601505232620.post-60188908851857639072011-04-11T10:21:25.629+10:002011-04-11T10:21:25.629+10:00Your rex begonias are so colourful!
