I ❀ LOVE LOVE LOVE ❀ this firey flower called Begonia boliviensis "Bonfire". It is spectacular, no? I first saw it 4 years ago in Washington DC of all places in a pot outside the Smithsonian castle. I pined for it for a couple years not being able to find it locally. Don't you ever pine for plants? :-) I finally mail ordered 2(in case one died) from Logees and have had it for 2 years. Now it's in nurseries all over. I have mine in 2 separate pots; one in the back yard and one on our front porch. The one that gets brighter light is doing better. This is a tuberous Begonia and dies back completely! It sits all winter with just a nub showing like a Cyclamen bulb. Then it starts growing in about March and in a few months, this amazingness in my photos occurs! It's flowers are a beautiful pomegranate or persimmon orange red. I just can't tell you how much I adore this plant :-)
