New begonias

I just got a plant shipment from Rob's Violet Barn, and as others have said they don't just sell Violets! Got violets, and chiritas, and begonias, all very nice, healthy looking little plants, with only one leaf damaged out of fourteen plants. Some folks fuss about small plants, and these were small, but I'd rather feel like I grew them myself instead of having someone else do it for me. I also think small plants adjust to the shock better and catch up with larger plants quickly. And of course if those plants had been larger the postage would have killed me! The begonias were Small Change, Five and Dime, Shamus, and prismatocarpa 'Variegation'. I'll try to post pictures after they've caught their breath and maybe grown a bit; we haven't been getting many pictures lately!
