That display is beautiful. You’re exactly right...the double begonia is what I was thinking about...I have had them and they are gorgeous.

The last one I had though, I had bad luck with it. When I bought the small plant, it had a little damaged stem and I never could get it to heal and grow...finally had to replace with something else.

You all have me looking for flowers this morning and I have found some beauties. Its exciting, for sure!

You are right. The begonias can be so fragile. Once that stem is damaged it’s never the same. I’m going to try them in my window boxes this year. I need to be careful watering. I have over watered before. I think that was my trouble in the past. It made the stems mushy and they easily broke. Temperamental aren’t they.

I’m going to a garden show on Monday. I can’t wait to be around flowers/trees and plants blooming again. :)
