Beat the bushes for three good things to share with you on this absolutely frozen day today:

1) For sanity's sake I've been sewing together my first braided rug. It's actually prettier than expected considering it's made up of junk stuff about to be trashed;
2) Made a brightly-colored infinity scarf full of sunflowers and butterflies for a frightened blue dot in a red state family member. Will mail soonest;
3) so grateful to be greeted by these smiling faces on our kitchen window sill every morning. Always good for a spirit lift.

My Rex Begonia is blooming!

I've taken a shine to begonias for the first time this year - here's how to grow fibrous and tuberous-rooted begonias.

Happy Summer! Can't wait for more warm sunny days. It has been a bit cool here. For now, lets get lost in this Floral Therapy for a few seconds. Take a quick nature break, even if you can't get outside right now. Discover beauty and bold colour. I love the sweet lilac and mayday scents right now. Join me anytime for a mini break right here. Let's brighten up the day together.
Enjoy the video and have a wonderful weekend.!

One of my favorite container plants every year: begonia ‘Fragrant Falls Peach’. Gorgeous fragrant blooms softly fall over the edge of the pot. It blooms all summer. #BloomScrolling #flowers #begonias #gardeners

real aussie insomnia hours quick post your #begonias while the mods are asleep

Something to brighten a gloomy day: yellow begonias from our tiny greenhouse.

After several subzero dips overnight, some #begonias are still flowering.

Back to more rain ️

The mosses are thriving here, there and everywhere around here.

White cane begonias are quintessential porch plants for shaded areas here in Georgia. They bloom all summer long, grow 4' tall by the end of the summer, and don't miss a beat during our heat and humidity. True garden work-horses and one of my all time favorite summer annuals.

Begonia hymenophylla, a true miniature species. First photo is one returning from dormancy and second photo is some grown from seeds. #begonias #begoniaspecies @plants #plants

would think we must be mad with joy the whole time
to have such things about us.”

I the color of this trailing begonia (“Sun Dancer Salmon”) we planted last week in the new window box under our kitchen window.
We planted 4 varieties of trailing begonias (bright red “Santa Cruz Sunset” is visible to the right), a different fuchsia on either end, & 2 matching impatiens in the middle. Bring on the hummingbirds!
