I am back!
Seems all my Houseplants made it through the almost 4 days of no care...

Ric--remember the two Begonias I had on my steps in those Lava rock bases?
I have been watering and fussing pver them all fall and winter--but they kept
dr0opping leaves and whole stems. The yellow one is all gone!
The red one had a stem left....but it too will fall off...

Then i read somewhere that Tuberose begonias have to be allowed to dry and
lose all their foliage and that the corm can be dug up and dried for next year...

And--here i have been watering it and trying to save it.......
The corm from the yellow one is very small--less than 2" in diameter.
Will lift the red one when this last stem falls off. No more watering!

Wondering--if these are grown from cuttings? Seeds? and they are just NOW
developing a corm which will get bigger every year?
Any thoughts on this?

Thanks, Gita
Here they are in July--this summer....
