Begonia Beauties


Thank you for coming by today!
There's been no update on the parcels after being re-assured that they are on their way,
but remembering that they live in a place where people tell you what you want to hear
or, at best, something breaks down along the way,
I'm just happy that they are not forever lost.

So, while you are here . . .  let me show you around a bit. 
If you could come for a visit you'd notice 
the hanging basket of begonias welcoming you at the front door.


These blooms are really liking the shade they get here


and I've been in awe of the variety that come from the same plant.
Designs I could never dream up . . . but someone did!

Right under the hanging plant with the white blooms
is this yellow variety.


Again . . . 
compare the flowers in the previous photo to these, on the same plant.
They look like roses


while some look more like impatiens.


Moving on, between our garage doors is this one with a peachy tint added.
Some blooms look like carnations,

others like a wild rose.
And these, I'm not sure what to compare them to. . . so unique! 
I love the pop of lime in the center.

A final begonia that has enjoyed compliments 
at my back (side) door is this one.
All the blooms are the same shape
but it's so full of them that you can
hardly see any leaves.

After all my complaints about getting too much
shade for growing beautiful flowers
begonias have shown me that they have their own place to bloom.

A lovely look at your beautiful begonias, they seem to be thriving very well in the spot you have planted them.
I love the lime centred one as well with the little touch of pink.

It's like God has painted them just for you and also they are at there very best during this waiting time to see when your parcels will arrive over seas.
Thank you for sharing your lovely flowers, it has brightened my day too.

I love the tuberous begonias. You have found quite the variety Anneliese! I love the one with the lime green in the middle. I'll have to look for that one next year.
Beautiful Photographs, as usual!

Your blooms are stunning! I have one like the last picture at my front door and it's beautiful too (not much shade there but seems to be doing great).

Well...what a welcoming sight for anyone who stops by your home...front door, side entrance...or back door, beauty abounds. Gorgeous flowers! I am thanking God for the shade He gave you, and the fact that you shared the products of that shade with us.
