Comments (6)Hi, I would like to trade for the 7 sisters rose cuttings. I can trade cutting from my antique double bloom fragrant rose. Hot pink color . Also have a climber that blooms cream and turns light pink when the sun touches it . I don't know the names as they came with the house.

Comments (2)You're absolutely right, Ming--I think a lot of us have heard you couldn't grow a cane from a leaf and tried it anyway, but found it was true. There are some with mixed heritage, like shrub/cane crosses, that look like canes and will grow, as you say, slowly from leaves, but I don't believe any true canes will. But they're so easy from stem cuttings we don't need to root from leaves!...See MorePropagating Begonia Dragon Wing & Bayou
Comments (5)Dkotchey, Glad you enjoyed my pictures and my other albums. I drag lots of plants into the garage and sometimes neglect them, barely keeping them alive until I can drag them back out. Fortunately, our winters here are relatively short. I think you could try bringing the dragon wings into the house and if it isn't too hot they should do fine. By the time I bring them out in the spring, they look pretty awful, but just pinching and poking seems to wake them up and off they go again. I do same with some impatiens. I do know they will grow fairly well inside the home as well, as long as they don't get too dry and hot. I love the way the impatiens reseed here. I get a fresh crop each year. Keep checking out my photos, I often add new albums, etc., when I need to share. Pauline...See MoreWintering over Begonia Dragon wings
Comments (15)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!...See Moremocountryboys
