Speechlessโ€ฆ

This is the reason that, by far, the Rex Begonia variegation is my number one favorite plant species!! There are just SO MANY completely different looking species out there and each one is more wonderfully weirder than the last!! The Escargot is hands down in my top 3 Begoina. To me, it actually looks like a knitted wool!!! I think itโ€™s one of the coolest looking plants period! I love them and just wanted to share!! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #PetsAndPlants #PestControl #GregGang #GreggersSupportingGreggers #Greggers #GregFam #Begonia #BegoniaEscargot #BegoniaRex
I need one of these!
What a stunning plant. Thank you for sharing them with us! ๐Ÿ’•
Really cool. Love weird/ different ๐Ÿชด
This is the one I want, escargot. I love snails and I have this fantastic snail pot waiting for it!
I love me some begonias too ๐Ÿ˜Š this one is my favorite (it's more vibrant in natural lighting) curly leaf fire flush
Looking good!!
They are very beautiful but I have found them hard to maintain. If the leaves get wet, they wither and die. I think they are best if watered from the pot bottom.
@HipIvorytowers I found the exact opposite lol they're my easiest plants to care for! I never top water, and only use rain or distilled water, and they do really like loads of light. Try again with the begonias, they're worth it! They're all so different and whimsical ๐Ÿ˜Š
My hats off to you for being able to grow it!!!
They are beautiful but I look at them and they cringe and shake in their pots. They know that I would murder them ๐Ÿ˜‚
@PioneerRutabaga Incredible! I can see why you love it ๐Ÿ’š
@MilkyParfait omg!!! I love it!!! Where are you located?! I would love to share with you!!
@nellz4estfairyz where are you located??
@PioneerRutabaga I'm located in Gloucestershire UK
It's ok I'm guna get one after Xmas ๐ŸŽ„
@MilkyParfait OMG I have a snail pot too, now I have to get one of these to put in it.
@MilkyParfait aw manโ€ฆI donโ€™t think an Escargot begonia would survive an over seas trip like that, do you?
I actually just ordered two begonia and I had to put the order on hold bc with the temps outside the seller was concerned they would survive the trip and thatโ€™s only shipping from Tx to Pa in the US! I can only imagine an over seas trip this time of yearโ€ฆI canโ€™t imagine they would make it. That stinks!!
I wonder if there is some way I can get seeds from it and mail the seeds to you๐Ÿค” I know absolutely NOTHING about that stuff thoโ€ฆI donโ€™t know the first thing about even trying to attempt that!!! lol
@MilkyParfait this is so cute! ๐ŸŒ
Stunning!!! Now I want one ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ฉ
One of my favourites too! Although, I donโ€™t have much success! :( Bought a trio of green and print Rexโ€™s and Escargot, & they died, so repurchased & have 1 left! I do also love, garden begonias.
@nellz4estfairyz โ€œneedโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚
@PioneerRutabaga hi! Iโ€™m in the north east of PA. Looks like you are too?? You may be the closest Greger Iโ€™ve found so far! Where did you find this beautiful begonia?
@nellz4estfairyz hey!!! Really?!?! I know, I actually looked to see if there was a โ€œNEPAโ€ group or something like that, lol but nope, nothing! lol
Where in NEPA are you?! Iโ€™m like 10 mins outside of Scrantonโ€ฆ
@PioneerRutabaga iโ€™m about an hour away. But I work in the Scranton area sometimes. We should start the NEPA plant group here on Greg.๐Ÿ˜ƒ
@nellz4estfairyz OMG, totally!!! Iโ€™m in!!! Do u know how to do that?! lol
@PioneerRutabaga I think if you hash tag anything, click on it and click join it will become a new group? We need a good name! ๐Ÿ˜„ NEPAPlantoholics? NEPAPlantParents, plant lovers, plant people? Maybe you can think of something better. lol
@nellz4estfairyz I just joined!!
@PioneerRutabaga someday we will celebrate you as our first member of #NEPAGregGang ๐Ÿ˜€
