Begonia Beauty

I don't have much of a green thumb, myself but I can appreciate the beauty of a well-kept lawn with a profusion of flowers.  I was able to bring a little color into our own sad little yard a few months back with a number of pots of red, pink and white begonias.  They added such a pop of pretty.  They don't look quite as robust now as when I first brought them home but I was able to capture one of the blooms in full glory last week.

How about you?  Does your thumb have a green tinge to it?

    No my husband jokingly tells me not to touch flowers that I kill them. Gorgeous photo.

    Lovely photograph - the colours are beautiful. I don't usually think of begonias as being all that photogenic but you have proved me wrong! - Sharon

    Nope, no tinge of green in this ole thumb of mine! But in fairness, I've neer really tried... I'm never stayed anywhere long enough to invest in trying to make something grow. But I sure appreciate prettiness when I see it!

    Pretty flowers. My thumb is only green when the plants are super low maintenance.

    Thanks for sharing,

    What a pretty little bloom, great shot. I have a green thumb with most plants but for some reason begonia never thrive for me.
