Just thought I'd do a bit of show and tell from the Miami begonia convention. Today was spent at PHOE, Butch, Joolz and I shopping until we dropped! And yesterday Candella (Cass) and I did some shopping there too, but I was in such sensory overload that I didn't hardly take it all in.

Along with all the other attendees! It was organized mayhem as all of begoniacs filled our carts with the beauties Tim had for sale!
Oh my goodness is all I can say!!!

I'll try and post photos throughout the week, but here's a teaser of a new begonia that insisted on coming home with me!
A beauty, b. sizemoreae, love it's whiskers on the top of the leaves.

Tonight we have seminars and a book signing by Mark Tebbit. His book, Begonias : Cultivation, Identification, and Natural History (Hardcover) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0881927333/ref=sr_11_1/104-...
is well worth having.

Then the social even is 'Game night' (Begonia Bingo? I guess so !)
So keep your eye out, I'll upload as many photos as I can, but wont get to resizing them for DG until later tonight.

hugs all around begonia friends,
Lali
