BEAUTIFUL BEGONIAS

 

Around here,  these flowers are usually grown in hanging baskets, but the patio at the Pine Tavern Restaurant in Bend was landscaped with  beautiful multi-colored begonia beds.

 

For  FLORAL FRIDAY FOTOS  (Thank you Nick) and   TODAY'S FLOWERS on Sunday (thanks to Denise and the team).

 

We couldn't decide if the black bird below was eating the flowers or just enjoying the aroma (we didn't notice one, but maybe it's more apparent to the birds).

At any rate, the bird was enjoying the beautiful flowers as much as all the diners were.

I like these kind of begonias. I had some in my planters last year, but I didn't see any in the garden centre this time around. Maybe next summer.

Begonias are underrated as garden flowers, aren't they?!

Sallie, Those begonias are "outstanding"--such bright color. And, your photos of them are excellent. Where are you now -still "out and about" or headed home? Take care. Mickie :)

I love begonias. I have two large pots of white ones I have been bringing in each fall for years. This year I planted one of those hanging bags with the pink ones but I have never seen yellow ones. Nice capture.

Beauties always attract people like you and me, and the birds.

Sallie, beautiful photos of this placed called Bend!
I think the bird shown was interest in the nectars of the begonia. I have a begonia in a pot, on my small balcony, it flowers all year long and due to the size of the pot, I can't move it, for new earth. Still it grows, now like in soil cement and blooms! Maybe I have a freak one - ha ha?
Why doesn't Bend promote all that it has??????
A real mystery to me. Surely there must be an answer?
So what is it?

Fantastic photographs, wonderful flowers. I am greeting

[Arti]

What lovely sights to have when enjoying a meal! Wonderful capture of the bird, it sure does look to be enjoying a bit of both ;)

Hi there - nice primary colours in the flowers.

I think the BB must be eating something - almost all birds have no sense of smell.
