Beautiful Begonias

While looking over my past blog entries the other day (isn't blogging a wonderful way to record the garden?) I noticed that I only had one begonia post. This surprised me because I love begonias of all kinds and have many of them throughout the garden, but especially in containers near our front doors.
I went through a phase a few years ago where I collected tuberous, angel wing and rex begonias and labeled them all with their unique names.
I even considered joining the Begonia Society, but never got around to it. Here are a few of the ones I still have and enjoy.
I think one of my favorite things about them is that they do so well in containers and I also love to collect containers.

Begonias show off the container without overpowering it.

Backside Beauty

I love begonias. From all angles.

This is the view looking out my front door in Laguna
where my begonias live. This is the backside
of an angel wing begonia that lives
in a pot next to the front door.
Even when not in bloom it has
much to offer in the way of interest.
