Summer this was a Fabulous video!! I got my first Begonia cuttings today and can not wait to see them grow! They are angel winged non variegated species. And I am so excited!! Thank You for this video!!
I would truly be so happy among so many beauties, I love begonias and I have my little collection, nothing compared to this, how happy I would be if I could appreciate them personally, thank you for sharing them. Greetings from Panama.
Loved this episode about Begonias. They are so beautifull and so colorful, and thanks to you, now I know there are so many kinds and shapes of this amazing plant.
This is an amazing visit, nice to see a fellow who loves what he is doing, glad you take us to these different green houses that we normally would not get to visit. It must be a little rough on you as I am sure you would like to take a few home with you, just one or two of course....
Problem with this video is it was too short way too short! A big thanks to Don Miller for showing us around and hopefully I can buy one of those Dawn Miller's may be at one of the begonia specialty places like Steve's leaves. I have one similar to that called I believe Frosty beautiful bushy plant
Well, I just found this video now! Terrific by the way. Would like to know where can someone find and purchase those domes that some of the begonia plants are in? Love those!!!
I love your channel! Thanks for keeping up with the great quality and frequent episodes! I hope that one day you do an episode on the insects you keep or have kept. The field trips are fantastic! Thank you :)
be cos of you @summer I regained my confidence in begonia again, the same rex jive which match ur kitchen! found it in the cheap section at local plant shop - what a find! darth vadarina is just WOW Much love from SG
Begonia's do well in the SF bay area. I have a few species and a few hybrids. Some of the more tropical need a porch,others seem to go dormant in winter and return in spring- Iron cross for example. Eyelash Begonias grow like weeds. I would collect more but I'm trying to avoid a container ranch with water here not being cheap.
Not a huge fan of begonias but this was a real treat to watch! Some of those were just spectacular.. Im really thinking about propagating one of my begonias now. Ive watched a few of your videos and I had no idea you could propagate it by the leaf. Now im facinated!
My first plant that I was able to keep alive that flowered was a begonia I got for Mother’s Day from my then 7 year old daughter. I had it for years but we ended up moving during a winter and it died because it was accidentally placed on the not enclosed trailer.
I'd just watched you interviewed at home by Kirsten Dirksen. I love her work. I had just discovered you a bout 2 or 3 months ago - so really enjoyed learning more of your back story! This episode really resonates with me. I just love so many types of begonias. I love so many of them, especially the spotted ones, so know I'm going to have to buy a few, new ones one day. I love the Rex types, but didn't have good luck with them. I think the heat in my home in winter may have been a problem. Maybe I could've raised the humidity with pebble trays & frequent misting, and a humidifier. Do you think that they would've appreciated that kins of environment? One day I hope to find another one, & learn the name of a beautiful begonia I"d had for many years, which had been my mom's. I'd started many new plants, so easily from cuttings & had no problems with it with insects or disease whatsoever. It was a strong, healthy, vigorous plant. I'd pinch it back to encourage branching, It had clusters of pink flowers, & red, kind of hairy stems.The leaves which tapered to a point, could become maybe 7" long, & 5" wide, & could easily hold itself erect with all those leaves, without ever getting floppy, & was at least 2 to 3 feet tall, & even wider, in a modest size 8" clay pot - heavy enough to weigh it down. The front side of the leaves were a glossy darkish hunter green, & the back sides & stems were a gorgeous reddish- orange. It was even more gorgeous with the sun shining through it. I'd assumed it was a common plant , & would be easy to replace, as it was so attractive & easy to take care of. I lost it in a move maybe 35 years ago, & have never seen another one since. If anyone knows what it's called pleas tell me.
This would be a wonderful place to revisit and go into much more detail and make a nice big long long video! I have a collection of maybe around 30 angel wing begonias most are from Steve's leaves. I love angel wing begonias... They're tied for first place along with Hoya and orchids as my favorite then comes the elephant ear family alocasia and colocasia along with caladiums dinner also in that same family. I have hundreds of plants and some days it's just exhausting to do the watering like I just spent about 12 hours watering my orchids. But during that 12 hours I'm able to do a few other things. But they soak for about a half an hour and their nutrient solution and then I put them near the kitchen ceiling fan until they're completely dried off since I also do a foliar feeding well they soak and if I don't get them to dry off they can get a crown rot. Then I have to put them back in the bay window or take them to my bedroom where there under artificial light with LED light bulbs. It's funny the ones that are growing with LED lights seem to do better than the East window that's the bay window and natural light. I love your videos please go back and do a long long video with mr. Miller I think I have the begonia named after him
The collection is awesome beautiful so new in variety had some in the 1980 the green with the black you don't know the name it's in the terminal i will like to know the soil you used 👍💯💯💯💯💯
I'm asking the same think! I was thinking maybe go to the dollar tree and get two of the clear bowls and place one on top lol kinda looks like a salad bowl 😂
@@summerrayneoakes As long as you have great material - as this visit was, use the amount of vid you recorded, & break it down into compartments, maybe of more specifically elated content. True plant lovers are able to absorb more, as they have a huge appetite for this kind of opportunity to see these kinds of places, they may also comprehend more than some, of what they're seeing, & what's being shown to them. People who have shorter attention spans, or who can only cut out small amounts of time to sit & view your work, can stop, & return to finish it later, when they have more time. I have to do this a lot, so leave things in pause, go to open another screen to check the weather or watch a show or news item, go cook dinner, & later return, as I've left the tab there to get back to. I love begonias & have for many years, including the tuberous begonias we adore in summer, in hanging baskets. Would love to buy some - to replace ones I'd had before, & new to me ones, which are so exquisite & so many, but, while I have the room, good light & many windows, the prices of all house plants are extremely costly now, compared to what I'm used to paying for them. Do you ever recommend places to buy good quality plants, from reliable sellers? I did watch your tour of a grower's multiple greenhouses you toured, but gather that he just sells to florists, & for resale. I hope you come home with some lovely new plants when you visit these places! What a dream that would be for someone like me to work in places like these. I did work at a florist's place for a while, & took care of a small greenhouse full of houseplants that we sold, & also did some plant maintennance for them in offices to which they'd supplied large tropical plants & even trees, planted in those huge glass enclosed areas. Loved it.
@@summerrayneoakes Oh no! I too wanted to see more & more too. I saw this a couple months ago, & just happened to see it on UA-cam again, so enjoyed it a 2nd time, just as much.
4u25out they’re not rare, it’s a very old cultivar. I think 1840s. They’re just not really sold since they’re just handed out as cuttings and they’re not “fancy”. I love them.
This was amazing !!! Really enjoyed Mr. Don Miller. Both him and the plants are a treasure
Some of the begonias in the terrariums were so gorgeous - be still my heart! Loved the Darth Vader one especially.
Wow very beautiful begonia.I always watching your UA-cam about begonia.👍💪🏻🌳🌳🌳 amazing 👍
This guy is just fascinating to listen to and this collection is stunning!! Thanks for a great video!!
Summer this was a Fabulous video!! I got my first Begonia cuttings today and can not wait to see them grow! They are angel winged non variegated species. And I am so excited!! Thank You for this video!!

Thank you for posting this, really enjoyed it!
what would happen if you let a bunch of bees in there and collected all the seeds and planted them?

Thank you for sharing. I’m beginning to become a begonia fanatic.
From Borneo and sumatra island Indonesia are awesome. I love the one redfreed.
Thanks for this great video.
Really love seeing this video on the lovely Begonia's
I want that Darth Vader one since I am from Sumatra! North Sumatra to be exact! 💕
Where could one find the round clear pots that those small plants are in?
This was amezing
I’m loving these begonias. Thanks for the tour. I’ve been buying some from Steve’s Leaves.
Kathy Gilbreath I just received my babies from Stevesleaves yesterday. I’m happy with my purchase and one of them is begonia ❤️.
This is amazing!
this is amazing!!! I was wonder how the plants from other countries get transported into the US. Quarantine?
I thoroughly enjoyed this! I would like to know where you can buy the bubbles and terrariums.
I really enjoy this video!!! great job!! I love begonias
Great shows Summer!
This was fascinating!
wonderful garden and thanks for your informations

I live bagonia plant I have a lot watching from Jamaica
So with your tip on the mosquito bits, I bet the begonias would have a better chance against the Florida bugs. I'll give it a try this year.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks your sharing..👍👍
Beautiful...
*7:50** looks like a philodendron brazil*
yeaj
oh no not Brazil
Thank you mam
Thank you. I was just given one. I love it more than my other plants. I guess because it blooms. Mama Long 😘🙏
The collection is awesome beautiful so new in variety had some in the 1980 the green with the black you don't know the name it's in the terminal i will like to know the soil you used 👍💯💯💯💯💯
what are the components of his begonia soil?
where can you get the clear bowls with a bowl like top???
I'm asking the same think! I was thinking maybe go to the dollar tree and get two of the clear bowls and place one on top lol kinda looks like a salad bowl 😂
I wish u had shown the larger, more flamboyant begonias. They r so very beautiful
Sticker shock when I looked Darth up online!!! An amazing plant though. And the one at 11:03......do you the name? Thanks🙂
I love your videos
Where to get those clear dome containers??? I've never seen though before!
I love your episodes... only one problem, I need episodes that last at least half a day, okay? :)
haha! I wish people in general had more attention spans as long as yours. I hate having to edit so much out to get short(ish) episodes!
@Summer Rayne Oakes I wish there was a place where we could view the rest of the cut footage. It's too interesting.
DS DS how to plant hydrangea How to plant hydrangeas I think

PotatoSnail
I wish he had shown
Thank you so much xxxxxxxxx
Nice
Where can I find those pods/ spheres???
Use plastic salad bowls. I've had ok luck with the dollar tree ones. Sold in the party supple isle. Use mini hair clips to hold them together
This is so amazing!!!
Can u do a steam propagation. On beefsteak begonia
Hi i love your videos do all Begonia flower?
All begonias flower
Yes begonias are flowering plants. Wax begonias are attractive for its flowers while Rex begonias for its beautiful leaves.
I have a “beefsteak begonia”,very rare,hard to find,I don’t see any here.
4u25out they’re not rare, it’s a very old cultivar. I think 1840s. They’re just not really sold since they’re just handed out as cuttings and they’re not “fancy”. I love them.
11:25 is red Fred, that is a beefsteak cultivar
