''''Those who live in the Lord Never See Each Other For The Last Time!''''

Mine weren't potted when he got them, they were still in the nursery containers...so...I found them new homes...and gave some to my MIL for Mother's Day (what can I say, my room could only hold so many!) Each one is potted with another "ever green" type of plant. hehehe. But, it makes for neat arrangements. The pics are here:

Well, this is the first time I've ever really had more than one Begonia. The first one...well, lets just say I got it before I knew much of ANYTHING about gardening. I doubt they will be outside this summer, not much shade around here anymore since the tornado ripped through last year. It gets scorching hot here. I did move my MIL's outside to a very large clay pot, but opted for the pot should we need to move them back indoors, it's better than having to dig them up.

No, mine are not double blooms, they are all single ones. The plants with the red flowers have dark leaves (a purple color almost) and the plants with the pink flowers have a lighter green colored leaf. I heard that here in our area, you could put them in partial shade, but...there's not enough shade for so many plants. And no porches anymore..... :/ I've spent all day today working on reclaiming my inlaws yard from the weeds. But that's going to be a very long, ongoing task. I'm determined that if I'm gonna live here, it's gonna have gardens! Not weed gardens, but GARDENS!! I'm working on the back patio area first, and will branch off from there until EVENTUALLY...hehehe we have GARDENS...flowers...foliage, pretty stuff!! And, the patio will look much nicer for all her family get togethers and cook outs. She likes flowers, but well...she kills them because she just doesn't have the time to tend gardens like she'd like. I have the time, and the desire. So, as long as I can plant what I want...she can enjoy the beauty with NO WORK!!

Oh, the pot with the leaves on the side is actually a dish. It doesn't drain well...it belongs to my FIL. When he was in the hospital around Christmas someone sent him some nice greenery in it. He loved the plants, but they were all dying, too root bound, too dry. I took them all out and repotted them in something bigger. Then, when I ran out of pots for the begonias...well...I put a few in that dish and sat it on my MIL's piano. Today, I repotted several of her house plants, one, which was a peace lilly, had to be broken down into 3 pots!! No wonder it was dying!! And she kept saying "oh just give it more water". Uh huh. Tomorrow I'm going to tackle her palms and about anything else that looks 1/2 dead that I can get my hands on!!
