Hell, I guess!
Paul's been growing tuberous begonias for quite a few years and appears to have the process pretty well in hand - wouldn't you agree?
He and his wife Laurel packed up many empty boxes, taped shut with cut-outs to carefully set the pots into and leave the plants plenty of room. Traveling to San Diego for the American Begonia Society Annual Convention and Show they had trouble with the nasty bumpy freeways in LA and made it with FORTY to enter, losing only two to the LA Freeways. They were the hit of the show, gathering ribbons galore. [psssst - don't tell Paul, but Laurel took BEST IN SHOW for her only entry.]
What he was showing me was the SECOND COMING - plants that he had started later to spread out his bloom time. Oh. Just in case you thought Paul might be into subtle plants at one time? His previous favorites were Dahlias!

Paul knows all the names, lineage and how a particular variety grows.
Me? I'm like a Crow, I just am attracted to shiny, colorful things.
A variety with amazingly few petals.
Small worktable = more space to grow great plants.
The range of colors is awesome.
Only one plant!
This one is so beautiful, I hate that it reminded me of sliced radishes.
Remember the Dahlias I mentioned that Paul grew before the bright and colorful tuberous begonias? They were the not-so-subtle Dahlias, like this one I found in a local nursery:
So I s'pose you could say that Paul has bright colors in his DNA.
