Angel Wing Begonia
If you love flowers you have to consider the angel wing begonia. It is one of the easiest plants to grow, provided you have them in a part shade, part sun location. I plant them in big flower pots, and display them on my porch. Since they are not out in a flower bed, there are no weeds to constantly worry about. The porch makes a perfect setting with just enough afternoon sun to keep them from wilting.
My husband, Bill, who does all the mowing and weed-eating told me that if I planted one more flower bed that there would be serious repercussions. I’m not sure what he can do, seeing that I cook all of his meals, wash his clothes, pick up his clothes, fold his clothes, and meet his every need. Well, almost all of his needs. I am not the sport fanatic he is, and do crab occasionally about his love for football, baseball, soccer, boxing, swimming, and on and on.
But, as all of you know, I must have a fresh-cut vase of flowers on the table at any given time. Ideally, with some scent. I figure, since flowers are a God-thing, and sports is a man-thing, surly he can’t complain for me wanting to gain credit with God. After all, flowers make the world a much prettier place. So, I think I’ll make Bill his favorite meal….Italian Meatballs in Marinara Sauce over Penne. Hopefully this will appease him, until I ask him to spray the roses.
Don’t forget the begonias!
