Picotee begonia
Flowers with colored petal edges are called picotee, I understand, and they are some of my faves. This begonia has to be taken indoors to wait out the cold weather. I repotted it in the spring and it did take a good while to get going again, but then it did very well. They like a good amount of fertilizer, that’s for sure.
For more cheerful yellow, visit Mellow Yellow Monday, and for more close ups, visit Macro Monday.
One of my moms fave food is begonia.. nice shot.

This photo is exquisite. Roses were always my favorite flowers until I discovered begonias. Your subject begonia is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing this beauty.
Oh, that is pretty! My mother-in-law loved Begonias, but I don’t remember her having anything like that!
