Dragonwing Begonias

Post by Squash Blossom »

Many years ago my father found a little 3-step wooden ladder in someone's trash and gave it to me. It's been on my front porch ever since and I change the plants seasonally.

This year I didn't have time to do much planting so I bought four $2.99 size Dragonwing Begonias and just dropped them into pots that I have wired to the ladder rungs.

I think I got my money's worth as far as curb appeal! I'm having to water every morning and these guys are heavy feeders but they're taking a lot of sun and appear to be loving it.

The pugs behind the storm door are left to right, Gumdrop, Jimbo and Rosebud. :wink:

Sweet! Both the ladder of flowers (I thought it was one plant!) and the little pug noses! :D
