Well- I didn’t make it to the flower show (yet). The cold, the snow and my attitude from Friday did not leave me. I decided to be lazy and hide out in my home as much as possible. I did clean the house first, then enjoyed playing some board games with my family and reading a book.
Enough of that now! Today I have decided to start my Apricot/Scarlet Begonias indoors. I am growing one in my office and one at home. I used to grow multiple Begonias when I had an apartment. Now that I am in my second home and have so many flower beds, I have almost forgotten about them. I pick out some shade plants for my front pots but somehow forgot how much I really like begonias. I think I have had a couple hanging begonias in there once.
These bulbs are the size of my palm- almost as big as a hamburger! Its always said that the bigger the bulb, the bigger the blooms. I cant wait for these to begin growing! Also, here are some tips to start your begonias indoors for bigger blooms!
I will post pictures to keep you updated! I’m excited just writing about them!
Gabrielle – I saw your blog featured on “Jean’s Garden – Blogs of the Month” and wanted to stop by. Then I saw your post on Begonias… it’s my most favorite impulse flower! A “must have” each year.
