They ARE worthy of a spot in your garden. Too pretty!

You can get them anywhere --they are considered the "Premium Annuals"--
just like NG Impatiens. Cost about $3-$4--depending where you shop.

I believe you can propagate them from cuttings--like any other Begonias.
I have never tried it....not worth finding room inside for another 6 pots....

Here is a nice shot from July 2008. --also a good one of my Angel Wing begonia---
I always have cuttings of this one...I cannot even tell you how old this is.
Maybe going on 25 years???
I just cut it back every spring to nubs and root the cuttings.
"Mama always re-grows full and lush.

Begonias are all awesome!!! Love them! G.
