I have to say , the flowers... On your Curly Fireflush... Look beautiful! i love the bright pink/red central splashes. Crazy how much they stand out , when attached to something as unique as the curly Fireflush 😂

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

Yeah it's a fabulous Begonia!

[@kathymacomber5115]

Fire flush is my next dream plant

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

Only cost me around £3 so I think you should treat yourself.

[@SemihydroponicswithSma]

"Even the word sounds boring to me" 🤣 love it. Totally agree 😋

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

The plants can be pretty spectacular though! 😃

[@SemihydroponicswithSma]

@@Grow_Up_Man55 you are definitely right😊 some of them😒 usually the really uncommon and expertise 🤔

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

Love, love, LOVE your collection and this video. Looking forward to part two.

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

I'm glad you enjoyed it - the next one features the 'BIG BOYS'! Just need to find a day to edit it...

[@kathymacomber5115]

No this is not boring..they are “ hot “ here

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

Pleased you think so. I previously had no idea they were such a broad family of plants - and I expect many UK dwellers are the same.

[@SemihydroponicswithSma]

I like the curly one. Really interesting 👌

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

Everyone loves Begonia Curly Fireflush.

Why did Sea urchin lose its color..tiger paws is adorable

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

You know Kathy, I only only spotted that during editing - I hadn't realised how different it looked from when it was really small. Can't think what might have caused that - it's not like it's in the sun.

[@SemihydroponicswithSma]

I like the rex ones, killed a few...wait for more comments, I didn't finished to watch the video😋

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

Yeah they're really nice and quite varied.

[@gartmorn]

You could get a couple more greenhouses just for begonias and gesneriads, I'm sure your local electricity provider would agree! 🤣

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

I could fill my garden with greenhouses! It's actually a real dilemma as to where I go with it next.🤷‍♂️

[@gartmorn]

@@Grow_Up_Man55 I have the same problem as I have to limit what I grow to what I can fit in the house! Luckily I love indoor and outdoor growing but just wish I had more growing space!

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

@@gartmorn I wonder if everyone feels the same - even those with acres at their disposal?!

[@gartmorn]

@@Grow_Up_Man55 my garden is a decent size it's just that it was pretty much all grass when we moved in. We've had quite a bit of work to do in the house as well. If the garden had been a bit more established it would have been a bit easier but I suppose it's a blank canvass so I shouldn't complain!

[@Cindy-by3ho]

You mentioned a few times that the American ORCHID Society ..... do you mean the American Begonia Society?

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

Probably! 😂 My face says different things to my brain...

[@kathymacomber5115]

We need rain and you are having pouring rain

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

I wish I could send some over! It's making us all intolerably miserable.

[@kathymacomber5115]

I agree..We had a cold wet spring now we are frying and dry.
