Red begonias
Begonias bloom and bloom, with no removal of spent flowers (deadheading) needed, and they are happy to bloom in the shade for you. I try to overwinter them in my garden by adding a lot of mulch, which sometimes actually works, or take them indoors if I can. The colors of the flowers and the leaves are so varied. This one is just red, but what a red!
For more ruby visions, visit Ruby Tuesday. And for those fans of super bright colors, visit Color Carnival.

You’re fortunate to live in a place where you can sometimes over-winter begonias. They are so lovely.

We could never overwinter them outside here. The thing I like most about the Tuberous Begonias are the amount of beautiful color shades they add to the shady garden.

Such nice bright red begonias. Love the contrasting bronze-y leaves. Great shot.

Beautiful! Sometimes Begonias do okay in my yard and other times they don’t. Perhaps it’s time to try again ;–)
Hugs and blessings,

Thanks, everyone, for admiring the pretty red color of these brilliant begonias. It’s so much fun when other people like what I like, too! I may be a bit late, but I will return visit everyone eventually.

I have a begonia that I have kept inside for several winters. It is very happy. (rex begonia) I got another begonia this summer, which I love, so I will bring it inside to overwinter. What a gorgeous red your begonia is!
