this is me when a houseguest shows even the slightest interest in my plants, 🤗I’m out of breath and talking about spider mites in 20

Man- wish I had a “Byron” close to where I live- so passionate and knowledgeable, wow

[AntonellaBCaro]

This man is amazing! I would die to go there and see all of the begonias 💕.

[ushagupta]

Wow! Wow! I have never seen such a riot of colours of Begonias all in one go! Ty for this wonderful video! I just love the begonias! Wish I owned a farm just with begonia! 😁😁😁

[CARAMELSCANOPY]

Begonia Elaine my grandmother has that kind of plant. Madam Queen is so pretty! You know each one. You are are the Begonia King!

[freddyjensen]

I really like the way you explain the main groups. As LogeesPlants has hybridized begonias for 100 years I respect the immense knowledge you share in all your videos. I love story of the one you got back after not having it for years. There is only one terrible think about LogeesPlant: It's fare away from Copenhagen!

[beautybeast]

It fells like always Autumn and Spring at the same time if you have Begonias. The colors are just too magical 😍🤩💞☘️🍂

I live in India and my cousin gave me my first begonia last year. After that began the love story which I think will last a lifetime!! 😀. I now have 5 in my collection. Although I wouldn't know the individual names.... But I am enjoying growing them. Watching this video has moved me to tears! Thank you for sharing. It is indeed a pleasure to have the opportunity to share in nature's glory!

[srshufelt]

Amazing varieties. I use to really never give begonias much thought but the more I learn the more fascinating they become. Such beautiful varieties.

[JessicaRuiz]

I just got my first begonia yesterday. Its a tiny rex with 4 leaves, but I'm excited to tend to it and get to know it as it grows! It's got a pretty magenta underside and iridescent greenish tops. Very cool plant 😍

[meganhuggins]

I could quite happily live in that plant house! My idea of heaven 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[rebeccamccallum]

Thank you, Byron! Begonias are my favorite plants. Love them all! Sure I'll watch this many times!

[octogirl]

When I first went into horticulture 40 years ago we had such a small collection of beggos and now. Well just wow.

[francesthorarinsson]

Excellent! Thank you, I will watch this video many times more. There is so much information packed into it. I will watch with a pad and pencil. I will watch with a Logee’s catalog in hand. Again thank you.

[dianebeckett]

I did not know that Rex Begonias go dormant! Thank you. I love these plants!

[MO-wcfm]

This is so neat! I could listen to him talk about plants all day. Thank you for sharing the wealth of knowledge about some of my most favorite plants!!

[Cyrilmc]

Thank you so much Byron, I really really enjoyed your video talking about the beautiful Begonias that you have there. I am so impressed by your extensive knowledge and expertise on these stunningly gorgeous Begonias. I e subscribed and given you a thumbs up too.

[DuneGlam]

Crazy collection of beguiling begonias!

[lorirober]

Wow! You gave me a new appreciation for Begonias. I always had previously skimmed over them in search of a more exotic plant. So many varieties and colors!

[FedUp-bdgv]

Ugh, I'm dying a thousand deaths just seeing all of these Begonia's, I adore them! I have the Beefsteak Begonia, as well as Cracklin Rosie, Looking Glass and some I don't know the names of. I would love to tour your Begonia house one day just to bask in it's beauty. :)
