Begonias!

This week, there was a note in our mail box about a package being held at the post office as it stated “Do not freeze”  As the temperatures were quite cold, I was puzzled as to what it may be.  Turns out it was begonia bulbs.  So I bought some peat moss today and started them in a flat.

3 bulbs (mixed colors) of Double Roseform Begonias on the left and 3 bulbs Yellow Hanging Basket Begonias on the right.

One of the hanging basket ones even had a little growth started.

Here they are sitting in our living room near (but not in direct light) of a window. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And while I was in the sunroom planting, I noticed that my rosemary bush has more flowers on it than I have ever seen.

Last but not least, the buds on my orange tree have started opening up.  The flowers are so fragrant you notice the smell before you can ever find the opened flower.  Sorry, but I didn’t take any pictures of them.
