One minute he loves them and the next he's done? He gave you all of them? I do find some of the hardy begonias that DC Tropics is referencing interesting. Which reminds me, I need to dig up my Begonia luxurians today, as it's not hardy...danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-56244652299488450642014-10-24T15:13:14.213-05:002014-10-24T15:13:14.213-05:00P.S.

Honestly, none of those begonias appeal to me either, and I would seriously question your friend's taste! You want to get excited about begonias, come visit my blog in a week or two when I expect to have a major new post about this genus, and not just any begonias but HARDY begonias. I gave up on growing these things as houseplants years ago, but some of the new ones have potential as perennials, and their foliage will knock your socks off!DC Tropicshttp://dctropics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-44448529475760457972014-10-24T13:29:20.908-05:002014-10-24T13:29:20.908-05:00Luck Alan, and that you can be trusted to take car...Luck Alan, and that you can be trusted to take care of precious plants.<br /><br />Amazing what makes one thing tick for someone and not the other.

Mine might have to change to "It's not work, unless people keep giving me roomfuls of great plants that need to live indoors with me in the winter!" :DAlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-56501265216404489152014-10-24T12:29:05.988-05:002014-10-24T12:29:05.988-05:00I guess you're so passionate about gardening t...I guess you're so passionate about gardening that people think you need more plants AND that you will take good care of them :-).<br /><br />Funny, I'm becoming MORE fond of begonias over time.

I don't know why this keeps happening to you but am very happy for you that it does, especially with the big haul of succulents! It's great that you still have space for all of these. Maybe that's why you have been the recipient of these collections. People want to know that their children are living happily somewhere even if they are no longer interested in caring for them. Hope you enjoy your new begonia adoptees!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.com
