Here we go!!! Thru the generosity of Mama, I have started my 2020 growing season with nine varieties of tuberous begonia seeds. Haven't grown from seed before - fingers crossed! #GardenGrewPeas
UPDATE: They are up!!!!

Good germination showing on the salmon. At least one in another tray. Having some trouble managing wetness. Going to try to allow more drying at this point. #GardenGrewPeas #Begonia #BegoniaDomination
UPDATE: Germination in all colors now. Not enough Rose or Peach so I will do second trays. Using the hideous "rocks" to enable supplemental humidity.
GUYS!!! guuuuys! I *have* third leaves developing!!!!

They are huge! I am likely to transplant this week. Trying to decide best light approach now . . . .
Late summer update to this thread: (see photo).

I want shelfing that is flexible and durable so I can eventually have a massed display.
UPDATE: FIRST BLOSSOM!

At least two others budded. Slower than I expected, but life has a way of slowing us down . . . .
