I just took the following from an impatiens site! When I plant them they are usually in the sun until 1 or 2 o’clock and then shade the rest of the day.
There are only three drawbacks to using Impatiens in your landscape.
Sun - Too much sun will wither this plant so fast it will make you cry. Do give it a shady spot that gets half a day or less of full sun - preferably morning sun.
Water - If you let Impatiens dry out too much they will wither quickly and die. One negligent day will do it. Make sure these plants have a moist soil at all times. Mulch is a must.
Color - If you are looking for blues or yellows, Impatiens are not the plant for you. They range in color from pure white to pink to salmon to orange to red with some bicolors.
You know, I never thought of begonia - and after a little search on my Mr. "G" site, there it was.
I think impatiens may be a bit too fragile for me to have here.
Is that like being a weeble wobble or jello?
I love searching on Mr. "G"s page,
He teaches me new things every day!
ohhhh......I want some of those! And here I am fresh out of biscuits. I am adding them to my shopping list. Haven’t made those biscuit donuts in a long time.
I’ve never seen a begonia as pretty as that one. It must be a hibrid. Begonias are good growers....or I should say easier, I guess! Do you know the name of the one you are showing?
I’ve gotta run out if another rain doesn’t blow up. I have never seen so much rain. It has beaten my geraniums to death and they were beautiful. They will straighten out when the rains are over and I can cut the bad off.
I completely forgot about begonias..There are sun lovers, shade lovers. wax and tuberous.
Weeble wobbley, jelloish or just shakey.....LOL~!
Absolutely, Madame!
Indeed...and while I am visiting mr G..the dishes sit..shopping waits, paperwork stacks up as I browse...LOL
Beautiful Gardinia, yorkie.
That gardenia is gorgeous and gosh, it smells so terrific in my room.....
Me, too, Lori, yorkie always makes me so hungry!
JC, it is called “Illumination Orange” Begonia. It is tuberous - so I don’t think it is hybrid. The plant gets very full, and is covered with double orange flowers.
GG would be the expert on the flowers!! Bet she can answer most any questions about flowers or vegetables...
Thank you Meg! (At least our minds are not going ‘stagnant’!)
You be lucky to weebly wobbly without assistance!
Our Motorhome is 20 years old with 15k miles on it, very good condition and a perfect inside setup for us.
We are just now getting into vacationing as a couple instead of bunches of people after realizing that we never had before and it sure is relaxing.
This looks like our motorhome...
It's only 24' but has two large beds plus a small one if we convert the kitchen table, and bathtub, full kitchen, the whole 9 yards like a small home.
ZOWIE!!!! I am going to make these this weekend.... I am sick to death of dieting!!! I’m off to have some fun!
Thanks Yorkie!

Your photo reminds me the suet feeders need to be filled.
There have been loads of red-bellied woodpecker fledglings hitting the feeders this summer.
