My Begonia has a first name...

[HorseloverFat]

...but he won’t say a WORD.

I’m VERY fond of begonia.. and have had this one for a little bit.

When I started thinking up potential pot/planter ideas for it, I decided that it was “time” to document this.. and ANY other Begonia project I deem fit for analysis.

Scarlet?

Scarlet?

I wish! .... It’s mandarin.

In this vein:

How do you feel about Brad Nowell adding “Kesey” -esque exploits in the form of a bridge in his rendition of that great song?

I must not be familiar!....

Scratch that.....I'm familiar.
Brain farted again.....sorry.

I think that version is cool. I have more of an issue with his lyrical changes.

 

[HorseloverFat]

Agreed.


I liked the cover.. until the new “bridge”...

Don’t get me wrong.. “the bridge” had it’s merits.. but it’s not HIS place to insert.. like drawing a toungue and blotter on the mona lisa.

Just curious as to your take.. I know a few deadheads.. I’m a huge fan.. not a head.

I'll have to relisten to the bridge later today.

You only get into the club if you have a GD tattoo. Lol!

I only get “basement tattoos” it’s a matter of principle..

My basement tattoo artists FATHER is one of those aforementioned dead heads.... sporting a basement GD tatt.

(Grateful Dead... gotta clarify.. mixed messages of THIS sort aren’t great)

I love the sublime version, love the original as well.

Here’s my tiny tiny begonia (my smallest plant in a pot) in a handmade pot, looking up at a shohin schefflera

Aww! It’s GREAT!

At first I was like NICE!... but i think that’s a Schefflera...

Took me a second.

Do they dry out those little pots quick?

At first it was kept outside in a shaded spot, but still was too much for such a small pot. Now he rests on a window seal next to a cpl other mame size plants. Still have to water once a day but outside it was like 3x a day

I can imagine! This guy needs twice a day at very least (Outdoors)... such a fine root system.. it’s good to see that the leaves are somewhat manageable with “smaller sandals”

Before, during, after.... prune-iosis.

The Begonia took a nasty spill, and was afterwards, “wiggly” in the pot... so it was time.

Looks better in that pot, too.

Got my Begonia Dregei... i’ve wanted one for quite some time...



I ended up snapping that longer left branch while attempting to fasten a “guy wire” to the pot.. bumped it hard with my knuckle.. the branch didn’t even MAKE it to wiring.. so after that.. i figured nothing else would REALLY need to be set at this time.. so now just time to watch her grow.
