This heat is getting to me already and it has only been bad for one day so far. We are supposed to go into triple digits tomorrow, not looking forward to that.

Debra, you continue to amaze me with your dedication to the plants in spite of your winter nad summer weather challenges - you are a true gardener. I am ready to move to FL too, I bet it will be cooler at Elaine's home this week than it will be here.

Rita, I have gone bonkers for begonias this year too. Forty years ago I had a small GH business and I specialized in ferns and begonias then I sort of got away from them as we moved here and there. All of a sudden they are fascinating me again and I am compiling a nice collection. It will be too hot to ship plants and cuttings for a while but let's get together in the fall and we can compare notes.

Sounds like everything is finally coming together for you Ben. Closing on your new home will be a wonderful wedding present.

Begonia Lois Burks and Musa Velutina this week.
