Too many begonias

Me too!

Well, the begonia dig wasn't as big this year. Just 6 plants but the price was dropped to $1 per. I did replace diadema that I lost earlier this year plus picked up 'Nautilus', 'Passing Storm', a begonia passed off as 'Cowardly Lion' but isn't hairy and the leaves are more round and smaller than what I think it should be, 'Georgia Tasker' but I wonder about that name, and U309 since the one I already have is quite small.

The good news is I got almost every issue of The Begonian since 1972. There is one year missing and a few issues from another year but other than that, they look pretty good.

At $1 each, you still made a haul. Looks like you have enough reading material to keep you busy this winter :-)

I agree, you still made a haul. Post some pictures of the new ones when you can.

I potted them up but washed the garden soil off so they're in a little bit of shock. Here are some pictures of the dig.

Here is 'Nautilus'.

'Lalomie' in our hosts' house. She grew me one since I commented on how well hers looked back in June.

Somebody else got this 'Little Brother Montgomery'.

One of their terrarium plants. Is this 400 or something else?

This is 'Red Face' which wasn't available, but I did ask pretty please to start me one. So now they have a couple of leaves in water for me and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The plants just didn't look as good this year as last, but I still wouldn't turn anything down. There were 14 members there this year where last year there were 10. I will have to take my wife next year so I can double up, ha ha.

This is what I brought home last year (a month after the dig - special invite). I dug up over 40 plants the 3rd weekend in October. Very generous people.

I love the Nautilus, and Red Face is fantastic - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, too :-)

butch what a collection. where do you put all those plants for the winter? i love the black ones. keep the pictures coming.

nancy, i think i gave those to you the first one looks like one of the chuck jaros, and the second is an odorata. this is what it will look like when it flowers. they are about 4ft.

Hi Cass, Good to see you.

Well, I must be feeding this one the Super Food because it is already 6' and shows no sign of stopping. It's lovely. Just re-read...they both get 6'. Oh my.....it may be moving time.!!!

Thanks for the info.

Also, I have acquired a couple of things you probably will be interested in. Hope to see you soon.
