I promised Cee that I would show my Begonia flowers for FOTD and Floral Friday
I don’t know the individual names of the plants, I just love the leaves and the small delicate flowers. The flowers have almost finished so soon it will be time to take some leaf cuttings. Here’s a simple how to propagate from leaf cuttings
This is a Wax Begonia. This species has stunning red flowers and bright
yellow centre. Even the insects like the flowers.
The other two Wax Begonias I have are very similar in leaf but one has a
white flower and this one a deep pink flower. A Native Bee is examining
the leaf. I wonder if it is a Leaf Cutter Bee?
The flowers of a Tree Begonia. These can grow quite tall except here as
Possums love them and break them. Going to have to build a tall plants
section in the shade house.
The leaf of this plant is quite different and grows in a quite large star shape.
The flowers start a dark pink and gradually turn white.
Some Begonias have smaller flowers. These are half the size of the
previous flowers.
I think these are my favourite, large white flowers and lots of little
freckled flowers
The wonderful coloured Begonia leaf of red, greens and silver with it’s
white flowers
I have one of my oldest Begonias in a hanging pot on the verandah. This is
what happens when you just take the photo and not really concentrate. I
actually like this better than the one that is supposed to be better.
