I'm having great success with my begonias this year. Thought I'd share a few photos. Thank you for looking!

Very nice, BlondieSC!!

They all look so great. I'm really impressed with Looking Glass the most.

I bought a huge basket of 'Bonita Shea' at Lowe's or Home Depot last year. It didn't make it through winter in the basement under lights but I did have a small cutting that is doing fine this year.

A lot of begonia experts say 'Bonita Shea' is actually Manaus or U002 but I do think it is a larger version of Manaus. I think 'Bonita Shea' comes out of University of Georgia of all places.

UGA 'Bonita Shea'

Here was my big 'Bonita Shea' from last year:

I've had Bonita Shea for a couple of years....but yours is much prettier than mine! They're all gorgeous!
