Begonias by the Dozen
I bought a dozen mixed begonia tubers from Antonelli's Begonias last fall.
Here's what came about - some good, some not so good, but a nice mixture that's got plenty of compliments in my courtyard this summer.
I started the begonias indoors on a heat mat in the early spring - about March or so. They first flowered in late June, and are still going strong towards the end of August.
Except of course #4, which failed to flower at all. But it's got really nice leaves.
