The nice thing about a basket or large bowl is you don't have to fill them with soil, just fill them with plants in their containers. The bad thing is you should remove each pot to water when it needs it which is a bit of a hassle.

If you do plant different begonias together make sure they have similar growth patterns. A large begonia will shade out smaller ones. Here is a thug of a begonia - don't know what it is but it was suppose to be crassicaulis. I originally planted it with about 7 different begonias but lost some and dug the others out to save them.
