Light n' lively

It had been on my to do list for a while. So, I got busy on this sunny beautiful day. Made a very light soil mix; 1 part perlite , 2/3 parts MiracleGro (which seemed very light and full of organic material-- and was on sale at Home Depot). Repotted 2 begonias. I have not had very much luck with planting rhizomatous begonias in potting soil alone. The soil can become compacted, slow growth and can rot the rhizome. 

I have to start labeling my begonias.



Newly planted. Nice contrast light blue and green
 

A simple rose.
