I think my first attempt to grow a begonia has failed miserably :) It looks very ugly, but I don't want to give up on it if there's hope. It never has done well.... perhaps bad location. It's been very hot here (in the 100s), but I've kept the plant in a shaded area on a small balcony. The balcony receives afternoon sun. It didn't do any better when I tried keeping it in the sun. What do you think? Thanks for your help :)
