To coin a phrase--Patience, Grasshopper! It's probably just waiting for warmer weather. On the other hand--I just switched brands of potting mix since some of my plants weren't doing as well as I thought they should be, and they are really exploding. Of course, the weather is already what normal people in a reasonable climate would call HOT! We're just grateful it's only in the middle/upper eighties!

Ooooh wow! Those are so pretty, perfect! If you don't have an interest in new plants right now, you could use strong fishing line or steel wire to attach the pots more securely to the deck rails.

LOL, CR! I used to do that until I discovered it doesn't always kill them. We got this cool zapper thing that looks like a tennis racket. It doesn't smush them, it fries them. They almost always 'stick' to the thing from the electricity unless/until you let go of the button. Then you can dump outside or give 'em a flush. It's really cool, handy & doesn't make a mess like smushing. Not so great for flies but I wouldn't be without one in this old house. What I keep bringing inside (accidentally, hanging out on plants) is anoles. ...and DH keeps putting them back outside. I also scooped all of the Begonias I had in the ground up, into pots, wax, NOID canes, DW, AW. I haven't had any trouble with the ones I've tried so far dying, so why not try the others? I just wedged them into pots wherever there was room. Nothing lost but a little time if any don't make it. I'm optimistic - as long as these cursed clouds go away, it's usually sunny! Did the same thing with a few Impatiens that weren't trampled by dogs too. Those I brought in last winter kept blooming.

I grow my dragon wing begonias in very large buckets, and save them at the end of the season inside a cottage that is heated at 48 degrees throughout the winter in Michigan. I presently have 34 plants that grow to the size shown in the photo. If parts are broken off during the summer, I just stick them in the ground and by fall, I have another plant. Before they are brought in, I spray them to eliminate bugs. I cut the roots and the foliage back to about 8 inches each, put them in large containers that are used to do an oil change on a car, and water them sparingly about twice a month during the winter. When I put them out in the spring, they are still quite small, but they grow very fast!
