I have just returned from a plant shopping trip for 4 days. Maybe i should have posted under tropical forum? Anyway, here are some pics of a great nursery with great plants.
She keeps tables of mixed containers with begonias in the mix.
Green Gate Nursery begonias
I think I will just post the begonia pics and then post the rest of the nursery on the tropical forum.
another mixed container
I picked up 11 of these wonderful shallow baskets for begonias
**I don't know the names as she doesn't mark them, but the president of the Houston Chapter of Begonias filled her car the day I was there as the national convention in 08 will be in Houston next May.
don't know the names
just one of many many begonias she grows
there were just as many canes as there were rexes
"A plant shopping trip for 4 days"
Lucky you! A little slice of heaven on Earth...
Those begonias are just beautiful, enjoy your new plants!

glad you are liking the photos...
I have pics of hoyas on the hoya forum

I will post many on the tropical forum
I also took pics of an orchid house to go on the orchid forum
As a matter of fact, I took 171 pics on the 4 day jaunt full of laughs and fun with a good friend
Here is a beauty of a cane
another mixed container of plants
another rex
I have this one from a trip a month ago to Green Gate

Wow, I wanna spend a day in there, thanks for sharing!
gessiegail,
Ahhhh!!! I can just smell that green house and feel the warmth as I sit here in the cold ,rainy,dull day of Michigan! It sure feels good. Thanks for the morning Delight!!

i took this pic because there was an 'Orococo' behind this plant which I haven't seen in years.
I am so happy you are loving this greenhouse. I could live in there with a cot if they would let me (LOL)
With winter coming on, I didn't buy any begonias except for one which I will show you at the end.
I love and have lots of begonias which live on my front screened in porch. I can protect them all winter out there but i surely don't need any more until spring.
This was just planted up and, of course, i don't know her name
I always see this one and love it! She never puts any names as she just likes to grow them.
This one was not in bloom but check out her beautiful small foliage for a cane
This cane we found at Hill Country African Violet Nursery in Boerne for 18 bucks. They had a lot of big cane begonias
I should have taken more pics at Hill Country of their begonias but i got carried away with the orchids and all the columnea, lipstick cultivars, etc which I will post in other forums
These little jewels of begonias are sitting in my motel room in this pic . They are called 'Baby Dress'
and check out that swirl on each leaf plus the two colors are magnificent I think.
Show is over for now.......thanks
I have got to make a trip to this place sometime! Those are gorgeous! Those tables remind me of my trip to Caldwell's. If you ever feel like trading, give me a holler.
:) Kim
I didn't even buy them! Seguin is only 2 hours away and right now I am under fire with gesneriads and hoyas. I have a lot of begonias but not this trip.
I made a promise I wouldn't be trading until after Christmas.............but would love to then.......we will see if i can stand to concentrate on family and the holidays or not (LOL)
Great pictures Gessiegail. Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed it very much.
