Hey Nancy,

Yes I do have some tall trees but also some very sunny sites too. Two of my begonias had some burning on their leaves due to excessive heat last week (mid 90's with heat index mid 100's). I moved one to a bit more shade and the other one just gave it a lot of water. Most of my canes receive direct noon day to mid afternoon sun for at least one hour or more. If I want blooms then they need some sun. If I want large showy leaves then deeper shade. Here is Silvermist one year in deep shade - no blooms but the leaves were quite showy.
