Stormila: I feel your pain . It takes so much determination to refrain oneself from the begonia addiction I have a dozen or so , not counting all the give away . My 2 Grand daughters love plants so they are easy targets (african violets, begonias etc...) I have not turned them on orchids yet my next step. I am not an enabling Grand ma just a dealer turning on my grand children into plant lovers and gardeners ( got Grand son 19 to tend the vegetable garden) he benefit's from it he eats all the veggies... I try to control myself but it is hard I have a collection of orchids that bloom thru the year and the begonias that bloom at different times... I have marmaduke for several years , it has done very well for me untill lucie decided that it was in her way and knocked down breaking quite a few leaves... (lucie the cat still alive LOL) She got me to repot one orchid at 4 AM this morning. She does not want me to get bored... pictures to follow Lucie, then the begonias...
