Mail order nurseries for interesting Begonia bulbs
i have bought begonias from ebay(,i do not recommend)also from peppers greenhouse.he really packs them real good and they arrive in excellant condition.www.accentsforhomeandgarden.com,hope you enjoy your new begonias,

Check the sticky at the top of this forum for all the sources.
Pepper's Greenhouses (Accents for Home and Garden) have been very good for me. Quick shipping and larger plants than a lot of other mail order places. Selection is a bit limited though.
I would suggest repotting most plants you receive ASAP to a potting mix that you are familiar with. A lot of mail order and local plants are grown in peat which is too heavy for the ordinary home grower.
For mail order and good pricing, I have used Robs Violets.

They are small but very healthy, so they grow fast. A good way to get a nice collection going for less money.

Hey lilspirit, I am from Des Moines, IA. Now living in GA since Sept. 92. I receive begonias from EBay but I have really good established sellers which are my favorites. They are pretty good plants that I receive with a good root system. www.logees.com is my other favorite begonia place too.
loggees is also one of my favorites,thank you
