Begonia Ghetto

Finally, a presentable showcase worthy of the front garden. I feel so proud; looking forward to version II How were they selected? I'm not sure, it was just a feeling that they might thrive in front or at least wouldn't be worse off. The nice thing is the sun's movements have changed with the season so this spot no longer bears the brunt of hot afternoon sun rays.
Ghetto at the back garden. Notice that B, Shamus which has since relocated to the front garden used to look alot more full with lots more leaves.  

Another view of the back ghetto. B Acetosa looks positively regal then - 5 layers of leaves. Hopefully a dose of crushed goat manure will get its juices running again. It's down to 3 layers in the front garden at this moment.

Not sure if the plastic bags helped. B Silver Jewel (on upper top shelves) is a pale shadow now of what it used to be. Likewise B Manaus (3rd shelf down on left).

B Rex (bottom right) with pink flowers is reduced now to 2 faded out leaves. Another one of those vacillators that can decide whether to go or stay. After two pot changes and numerous location shifts, I'm not sure what else to do.

UnID. Love the romantic pink centres.

Larger leafed are supposed to be more hardy and easier to maintain...??



UnID. Cheery seasonal colours.
