A Double Begonia

Fortunately this plant has thrived this year. I’m not sure what I did different from past years, it’s put on quite a show all summer though. I read that the National Botanic Garden in Washington, DC has gardens specific to most states on display this summer and the begonia is in the Texas garden.

Such a pretty flower - begonias always do well here as long as I keep them in the shade.

How pretty- plants seem to go in blooming cycles just like some insects are prevalent one year and not the next. Whatever the case you have one photogenic flower!

lucky they're tough even if they look delicate. Mine seems to come back every Spring. Lovely colour.

@radiogirl @stevepam @olivetreeann @bkbinthecity @happysnaps @pusspup thank you! @pusspup I didn’t realize they were perennials, I will leave them in this pot when they die in the winter and hope they come back next spring!
