sorry , over three months at the top. time for a bump

I used to buy fromAntonelli now I buy from Blackmore and Langdon.I buybonly named varieties.Theyare exceptional.

Yeah? Lets see a picture or two. I am willing to see the differance!

This year, 2013, I purchased 11 tubers from Blackmore and Langdon. The packaging was superb, and all 11 have started into growth. Each tuber is showing at least 3 new shoots. This is in April 24 in Upstate NY on Lake Ontario.
I made my purchase based on a recommendation and I can think of no reason not to strongly recommend Blackmore and Langdon to any potential buyer. I am totally pleased with all aspects of their service.

If I had the money, I would buy again from them directly in a heartbeat. It's just unfortunate that they only ship tubers to the united states once or twice a year. I grew them and they were wonderful. They were slow to grow though, as I've heard cutting grown tuberous begonias tend to be. They are expensive for that very reason. They are named cultivars.

My experience with them is that they are different than say amerijybrids which I also grew. They are grown for flower size. It takes a season for them to really beef up. The amerihybrids were bushier and more floriferous but they don't compare to flower size of petal count of blackmores cutting grown tubers.

Named Blackmore and Langdon tuners are all cutting grown so they should all be genetically true to the clonal parent. Cutting grown tubers are almost always a little weird looking but they should be normal ang pretty big after another seasons growth.

kat033 are you still around? Do you still sell seeds for scented tuberous begonias? I can't afford the scented tubers from the big named places and would be willing to buy seeds if you sold them. Or tubers if you sold those of scented varieties.
