This first one is B.Wineuma
Some new find
This next one is B. Black Velvet. I hadn't even intended on stopping at this nursery because they seldom have anything I am looking for, but it was right across the street where my hair appt. was. So I figured I might as well look. Boy am I glad I did.
These other pictures are just of some of my begonia's around the yard.
and next
and another
and one more
Can you tell that I am really bored today?
Nice begonias. I really like Wineuma.
Thanx for sharing
Jackie
Beautiful plants, especially B. black velvet.

WOO HOO! Kell just bought those two for me (wineuma & BV) well, we traded actually. Anyhoo they're great aren't they. Dont you just love the leaf on wineuma? It's a beauty.
thanks for sharing the shots!!!

Black Velvet -Joe Hayden -unk -rhiz -Stanford -TX -1967
So Armstrong Nursery? Great finds!
Love that dark Black Velvet.
Yes Armstrong!! I am going there tomorrow. I hope they have nothing. I am broke. I go whenever I go to Kaiser Pleasanton, it is just down the street. Tom hates that I have been going to Kaiser every 2 weeks at least, it is getting expensive. LOL! It is also right by the mall and I stop at Nordstroms too.
Patrica, I think Wimauma is my favorite begonia ever. I sure hope it is an easy one and that I do not kill it.
I love your pics!! You must be feeling much better. GOOD!
Thanks for the information on these two begonia's Lali. I will correct the spelling, I can't seem to get used to typing with one hand, so I must have
just hit a wrong key.
Kell, I am feeling better, but terribly bored. I have to sit around here most of the day wating for UPS or I would be out nursery hopping today.There just isn't much I can do outside yet, especially since I am suppose to still be keeping
the one hand above my heart.
I did order some begonia cuttings from Mr. Stych and am really looking forward to getting those,
I am new to Dave's Garden. I have seen a Begonia that has swirled leaves.....it isn't a color swirl, the leaf itself swirls down toward the center. I have only seen it twice. Does anyone know the name of it? I would also like to know where to get it.
Thanks.
Kiick, one of the most popular ones that has a sinus curl is 'Escargot' lots of great photos in Plant files too.
Is this it?
OK, LALI who's place is that? I need a big tree for shade so I can create more baskets of begonias!
It's yours DOH!
