Garden update: I know it's been a while, but not much has been happening with the plants. It's also been dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home, and gloomy on the weekends, preventing much photography. Anyway, here's a size and color comparison between my two rhizomatous Begonia hybrids--'Dark Mambo' on the left and 'Black Coffee' on the right. What you're seeing is the sam anatomical structure in wildly different scales. 'Dark Mambo' (photos 3&4) is a small plant right now--and is a more compact hybrid in general--and 'Black Coffee' (photos 5&6) has become a sprawling beast, haha! They also have somewhat different leaves, although that's less of a good indicator than flower structures about whether or not two specimens might be the same plant. #begonia #begoniablackcoffee #begoniadarkmambo #indoorgardening #houseplant #plantnerd #containergarden #gardening
