Here is a Pic. is my 2nd. year c. Vitacella Vilocea(sp?) It went completely dormant late this June but, here it is again blooming pretty well on two shoots. I have never seen any other group of plants that return after being judged seriously dead ! I have even had two occasions of then coming up the second year after dying back ! I see quite a few posts in this group that allude to these peculiar behaviors of rebirth! I am always telling people to leave them alone if they seem to have died and I have more than a few brought to me that seemed to be well and I could usualy point out new growth alas, very few gardeners replanted them!!
Cem 9165- You may as well replant your B&L Begonia tubers. I have to start mine inside because we are not frost free till June 1st! You probably need to spray them with water to keep the plump. Best of luck! Lee
