Steve's Leaves FAMOUS BEGONIA HYBRIDS Tour - Ep. 293

Don Miller, begonia expert and hybridizer, was wooed by Steve's Leaves a number of years ago with a hard-to-refuse offer: Come and hybridize some begonias. Don shares some of the begonias that not only he-but also others have hybridized while at Steve's Leaves. He'll even be showing some that they have pre-selected that are not even on the market yet-or will shortly be releasing. You see it here first!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed that! Would be great to see a hybridising class from Don.

[@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550]

I wonder if this is gonna revive the Friday night begonia restock wars over on Steve's leaves 🤣💚💚💚

[@moisesplants2020]

Me too 🙋🏻‍♀️🪴🥰

[@floridahiker1503]

I feel begonias are going to be the next big thing. Steve's Leaves adds new plants every Friday night. I learn so much from these videos.

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

I think they already are a big thing!

[@jeffreyeden6700]

Agreed🎉

[@ruralangwin]

Warrens Nursery in Los Osos Ca has been growing amazing begonias for decades!

[@cherylyeo25]

so happy to come home after day work and chill to Don miller / begonia and just be Bliss of his soothing manner of talking and oh so lovely begonia Thank YOU for the content and wonderful interview

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza262]

Love waking up to a new video 🥰🪴🌿

[@yeikes]

Wow that green lightning has crazy coloring! I also love the idea of more miniature varieties. So cool to hear the thinking behind the hybridization!

[@anacabrera5617]

This last videos have been a delight 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@jamesh.maloyjr.6940]

Amazing selection of hybrid Rex begonias Great video.

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful!!

Honestly, I could live in there… Begonia are my all time favourite , and the plant that hijacked my brain & bank…😂 I love nature in general, but begonia’s have my literal full attention when ever I see one no matter what species or hybrid. I love the hair , asymmetry , different shades/shapes/sizes , the difference in flowers & the impact the light spectrum has on the growth & final results in colour too is something I found so interesting. I always came across damaged ones at my work , and the first plant I decided to make a project of was a Glowing Embers variety that like I said , wasn’t doing too well… But also the colours were not what I’d call ‘glowing embers’😂 it was musty shades of light greens & mixes of dark greens throughout but also yellow & brown throughout.. it had far too much light & rain I personally think , it also didn’t flower that the rest of that year (6months) Fast forward 1 year , I’ve kept it inside & restricted light apart from red mainly (slightly tinted LEDs) , and this plant is THRIVING. It’s now turned a velvety black or extremely dark green with slight red tints in places and ranges with dark or pale green veins , that characteristic crimson red stalk & under leaf and it has these beautifully dainty mixed sorbet orange & lemon yellow flowers . and although my method caused it to run abit leggy for a few months , ive had fun giving it shape & some new life it otherwise wouldn’t of had. I’ve basically started bonsai begonias as a major hobby from that one plant , and like I said it just made me gain such a deeper appreciation for Begonias & plants in general. I’ve still got that beauty & hopefully will for years to come !

[@williamkallenbach7461]

[@gingermay6271]

I have an unusual begonia with a star shaped leaf. I bought several years ago and have propagated it since. I haven't seen this particular one since.

[@milgordinhas]

[@vijoothimmaiah1194]

Thank u ❤

[@cristinaberrocal8360]

Muy hermosas todas ya quesiera tener sequiera una 😍😍😍

[@97purplehaz]

Just a warning. If you do a plant auction on Steve's Leaves they will increase the time on an auction even after you receive a notice that you have won the auction. I was told it was so more people can participate, but by extending the time limit, after it has officially ended, they are able to make more money. If you don't mind winning, and then being forced to pay more to win again, then their auctions are the ones for you.

[@cefcat5733]

Did you hear the jets and planes fly over? Lillianthal believed that if man could fly, there would be no more war. That parent plants travel the World to meet and have Steve's Leaves through Don Miller and his colleagues create new life, from distant Begonias, should now be of great consolation to him for his great and passionate efforts.

[@ot7stan207]

the bob ross of begonias

[@JA80347]

Don is awesome 👍🏼👍🏼

[@corruptedteka]

This was very funny to watch as someone who speaks french natively...

[@Miles_Hoffman]

Thank you for posting this. Dose Don teach classes or give private lesson in begonia care and hybridization? I’d be very interested in that indeed. 💚😎💚

[@sdqsdq6274]

hmm need more miniature for terrariums , btw you didnt ask the care for bulbs begonia , prone to root rot

[@showmanshow]

❤

[@cefcat5733]

Mr. Miller could you create a mini B with one, with a scent or there is one actually? Window sills are small and a tiny one could be placed further from a cold window pane in Winter. Thanks everyone for this fascinating video.

[@gusmanagusmana6669]

Hey summer nice coverage on this genus. I watched your video with monica in missoury botanical, and I wondering all the time about her comment about the real monstera obliqua, it will be very spectacular if you elaborate more about that species. Thank you :)

[@duyguonaral]

Hi Summer, we have a permaculture farm and we follow you for a long time. Can you please recommend us a website to order vegetable and herb seeds from in America? There are so many of them and we don't know which one is worth spending delivery money and which one we can trust to have quality seeds. Thank you so much, we love your work! 🙂🙏 🌻

[@decoratewithmyriame1391]

I wonder if you ever going to have a video with the small or new channel? I'm sure they also have a lot to share. Thanks for all the nice videos.

[@rukandagarden6405]

wow keren banget

[@daniellemylastname2811]

I had so many begonias last year, but I lost alllllll of them, because they got infected with begonia mold and within days it infected all the begonias in my house. They never recovered. I lost about 15 begonias. I haven't bought another one since, I'm still upset about it.

[@sdqsdq6274]

interesting i never seen mold on mine begonia , yours is in pots ?

[@katyalupochev9589]

:( sorry, that’s awful. where do you live? If you’re in the UK I can send you free begonia cuttings if you can cover postage cost. I got Pavonina AKA Peacock(rhizomatous) Cumbria + Salsa(Rexes), and Highway(cane). Either way I hope you get back into the joy of it one day and find joy in new growth 🌱

[@heatherstephens9295]

❤️❤️❤️

[@daniellittman5807]

Hey, how are you beautiful ?. Your channel is doing well, good to see. I'm digging, 2 weeks of it. I'm building a permaculture food forest. Interesting, time to read.

[@hoyas]

I love your content but another Steve’s leaves episode? Starting to feel like a commercial
