Color By The Door

Day 207: I can never get out the door at Watson's Nursery without at least one plant, so yesterday when my quest for a "Spoon-flower" Osteospermum drew a blank, I wandered over to see if they had tuberous Begonias out for sale. Each year, I buy one, rotating the color choice with my mood. On this occasion, the dark foliage and brilliant red of this Non-Stop variety took my fancy.

Once the weather has warmed, this beauty will be set out on the step of my front porch, there to welcome me home whenever I go out. Begonias are such rewarding and tolerant plants, I don't know why I don't buy three or four!
