These are my waxy begonias. I'll add pics of my neighbors and around town ones when I get a chance. I don't want to take them without asking her first.

She generally does a pete moss/manure mix in her holes before planting.

They don't water as much as I do, other than the first week or two.

They don't fertilize other than the manure in the hole for majority of her plants.

She does feed her roses.
