In this video, Logee's horticulturist and third generation owner, Byron Martin, discusses some of the popular begonias that his family has been growing for over 100 years at Logee's Greenhouses. Begonias make wonderful houseplants. Their texture and color brings beauty and form to both the indoor and outdoor garden.

[@earlmcornell]

I could listen to you all day!

[@rainbomg]

this is me when a houseguest shows even the slightest interest in my plants, 🤗I’m out of breath and talking about spider mites in 20

[@williamkallenbach7461]

Found the begonia tour...................YAY ! Loved it !

[@LogeesPlants]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@williamkallenbach7461]

I was fortunate to have been able to visit your establishment back in the 1990s. It was a wonderful part of my vacation away from Wisconsin !@@LogeesPlants

[@octogirl2046]

When I first went into horticulture 40 years ago we had such a small collection of beggos and now. Well just wow.

[@AntonellaBCaro]

This man is amazing! I would die to go there and see all of the begonias 💕.

[@ushagupta6742]

Wow! Wow! I have never seen such a riot of colours of Begonias all in one go! Ty for this wonderful video! I just love the begonias! Wish I owned a farm just with begonia! 😁😁😁

[@freddyjensen5996]

I really like the way you explain the main groups. As LogeesPlants has hybridized begonias for 100 years I respect the immense knowledge you share in all your videos. I love story of the one you got back after not having it for years. There is only one terrible think about LogeesPlant: It's fare away from Copenhagen!

[@CARAMELSCANOPY]

Begonia Elaine my grandmother has that kind of plant. Madam Queen is so pretty! You know each one. You are are the Begonia King!

[@jeremymassimino1176]

Man- wish I had a “Byron” close to where I live- so passionate and knowledgeable, wow

[@rossmcleod7983]

Jeremy Massimino I think right next door would be ideal.

[@suparnalokare8866]

I live in India and my cousin gave me my first begonia last year. After that began the love story which I think will last a lifetime!! 😀. I now have 5 in my collection. Although I wouldn't know the individual names.... But I am enjoying growing them. Watching this video has moved me to tears! Thank you for sharing. It is indeed a pleasure to have the opportunity to share in nature's glory!

[@beautybeast3649]

It fells like always Autumn and Spring at the same time if you have Begonias. The colors are just too magical 😍🤩💞☘️🍂

[@srshufelt]

Amazing varieties. I use to really never give begonias much thought but the more I learn the more fascinating they become. Such beautiful varieties.

[@meganhuggins7494]

I could quite happily live in that plant house! My idea of heaven 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Byron, I really really enjoyed your video talking about the beautiful Begonias that you have there. I am so impressed by your extensive knowledge and expertise on these stunningly gorgeous Begonias. I e subscribed and given you a thumbs up too.

[@rebeccamccallum7708]

Thank you, Byron! Begonias are my favorite plants. Love them all! Sure I'll watch this many times!

[@dianebeckett1697]

I did not know that Rex Begonias go dormant! Thank you. I love these plants!

[@sherylgemino7701]

[@beautifulgreenworld9520]

Begonias are beautiful, they are so big

[@JessicaRuiz323]

I just got my first begonia yesterday. Its a tiny rex with 4 leaves, but I'm excited to tend to it and get to know it as it grows! It's got a pretty magenta underside and iridescent greenish tops. Very cool plant 😍

[@mollypitcher9380]

Is it still alive? I just bought a tiny one yesterday. NOW I’m researching it and see they are hard to grow. I would not have bought it if I knew ahead of time.🌸

[@Lovesausage269]

I haven’t watered my Rex begonia in like 3 weeks and the soil is still just moist, and it looks great. My friend is jealous I have a patio that sits in bright shade all day lol

[@FedUp-bd4gv]

Ugh, I'm dying a thousand deaths just seeing all of these Begonia's, I adore them! I have the Beefsteak Begonia, as well as Cracklin Rosie, Looking Glass and some I don't know the names of. I would love to tour your Begonia house one day just to bask in it's beauty. :)

[@francesthorarinsson3699]

Excellent! Thank you, I will watch this video many times more. There is so much information packed into it. I will watch with a pad and pencil. I will watch with a Logee’s catalog in hand. Again thank you.

[@LogeesPlants]

[@Elizabeth-cc4dz]

Begonias are such gorgeous and amazing plants!

[@sriargo9614]

Thank you for showing the video. I love begonias.

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

You barely touched the surface with this video you have to do another one please please please!! I know you were busy especially this time of the year but please think about another one. My favorite begonia is are cane and fibrous they're so easy to take care of and not fussy at all. Do different types of begonias like different types of pots I noticed a lot of yours are growing in clay pots is that the best for all types of begonias! I have an order coming this week from your green houses and I can hardly wait to get my begonias! Especially the Immaculata species the one with the white spots! Begonias have been my favorite for a long time. I had one one time that was in my unheated living room and I forgot about it it was like 3 ft tall an Angel Wing Begonia with a chandelier handful type bloom! I thought I lost it and didn't even want to go into that room they were Louver doors on both ends of the room and I didn't even want to open and take a peek. I was amazed when I finally got brave enough to go in there that the begonia was still alive. It had gone months without water. I wish I still had it but I went through a sad time in my life and unfortunately I lost all my houseplants. But I have hundreds now and probably 50 orchids so I bounced back and with your help maybe one of the begonias I ordered they're always angel wing will be a clone of the one I lost! Thank you for this wonderful video

[@Timby_]

So glad to see the hispida on this!! One of my favorite purchases ;)

[@ashleyartus1193]

Incredible video. I'm a begonia addict. Loving this history...thank you from the UK. X

[@lv_styling_diva8716]

Thank you for such an informative presentation of begonias. Excellent!

[@beatrixrode1082]

I just love your knowledge of plants

[@lorirober2536]

Wow! You gave me a new appreciation for Begonias. I always had previously skimmed over them in search of a more exotic plant. So many varieties and colors!

[@ruizegot1788]

I wish i am your neighbor.... but i am here from the philippines.... i love Begonias and i found some varieties here all along with my 2 decades old collections i wish i can find some of your amazing begonia collections.. God bless and with regards to your planterias!!!

[@Jo-9999]

Excellent video - just what I was looking for. Will be watching this many times over….

[@Урожайягод]

Thank you for the video. I didn't think there was such a variety of begonias.

[@Cristinaplanters]

Thank you for sharing begonias sir.. I love Begonia plants too..

[@juliamorales7023]

Begonias is on my Plant list now🌱😁can't wait to get one from Logee's!

[@FosterFarmsOk]

i have a cane begonia my grandmother was growing 30 years ago. looks like an angle wing but rounder leaves. bright pink flowers. Look very much like that Elaine.

[@smallfaucet]

I've been growing/propping these for years and this collection is fawking insane!!

[@gardeningwithsashmitapatra4841]

Wow great information on Begonias.

[@salviasalvia5437]

Amazing!!! So beatiful colors and shapes, congratulations!

[@HerebutNot]

👀 I see a Miracle Berry bush! Great video. Thanks for sharing-it’s really cool to see your greenhouse and plants even though I’m up in Canada and likely cannot visit

[@luxmifrei9759]

A gorgeous collection you have there. I never had any luck with the indoor begonia. But I never stopped buying them. Would be great if you made a video on care and gowing tips. I have a flowering begonia, beetroot in colour with deep orange blooms, outdoors on my balcony since spring. I give it a weekly liquid fertilizer. Don't think it will suvive the winter. I have taken cuttings, so there is still hope. Regards from Switzerland🌷🥳🌻💐

[@dianebeckett1697]

So beautiful! Love Rex Begonias! And there is so many different colors & kinds thank you for this video.

[@LogeesPlants]

Thank you too!

[@LogeesPlants]

You're welcome - glad you're enjoying the videos.

I have many plants from your greenhouses and they are all doing so well. in fact tomorrow I am expecting a delivery of a My Special Angel Begonia and a Moonlight Philodendron which i am excited about! What I would love to see in the future is a very quick video on the correct technique of pruning back a Tea Rose Begonia to shape it without cutting away potential future bloom growth...
