Still morning

The air is still. It seemed to have rained last night, the terrace looks washed. Supposed to be hitting 90 today. Skipped watering,  i did water one rhizome begonia who's name will have to wait until it's more mature and i can submit pics of leaves for ID help.

I'm wondering how pulmaria reacts to getting a few stalks cut back. It is starting to look a little leggy. The top 2/3's of it look full and green. It is sporting several beautiful white blooms.

'Selph' is a little sensitive to over watering. Probably not once established, but the leaflets are prone to rot off if the soil is too moist. have to be careful of this.

Take a rhizomatous begonia, cut off all the leaves, cut up the rhizomes and plant, even with an agressive grower, expect to wait.
