Begonia 'Glowing Embers'

Morning everyone. These training begonias haven’t trailed at all yet but with pretty little flowers like this, all is forgiven. 🧡🧡 #begonia #orange #ajoct22

Used to have this one too, mine never trailed either 😄

That’s strange Jason….not just me then?! As I’ve planted mine in a raised border I’m still able to enjoy the flowers but it must be disappointing for anyone who plants them for their trailing effect @hebelover

Do you overwinter it or leave it out?

Love these Angela Angela 🧡🧡

I only bought them this year Jason. I’m going to try potting them up and putting them in the cold frame as it’s very sheltered there. A bit of a gamble I know. Or possibly bringing indoors? Did you have any luck overwintering yours? @hebelover

Thank you. They are lovely aren’t they Julie….so vibrant! 🧡🧡 @juliesgarden

The name suits them very well !

It does! One of those rare occasions where the name really reflects the actual plant! @juliesgarden

Yeah mine was kept in the conservatory over winter for a few years

Ahh, thanks Jason. I’ve got 4 of these plants, I may try 2 indoors and 2 in the cold frame and see what works best. Hopefully some will come through 🤞 @hebelover

Cataloguing #begonia #ajaug22

This was one I considered too but settled on bonfire as that’s all I could find 😀

Gorgeous one 🧡

#greatname for this #begoniasaurusrex

I was very excited to find this Jules as I hadn’t seen this one before. They had an offer 6 begonias for £10 so I bought 4 of these and 2 of the Bronze Papaya. I bet the Bonfire is quite something too 👍🏼 @vec

Thanks Jason 😊 As soon as I saw the flowers and the lovely foliage there was no way it wasn’t coming home with me. With the offer of 6 begonias for £10 it was a no-brainer @hebelover

I love the name too…! @emch

What a beauty. Love the flowers and foliage. 🧡

Thanks Diane, that’s exactly what attracted me to it…they are both so pretty in their own right 🧡🍂 @hkyfvr

Very welcome 🧡
