Photo Description I grow a lot of begonias. To save money, each fall I bring some in to root cuttings. I'm behind this year. You can see in the picture what an unseasonable 3 degrees did to my plants. Guess I'll have to fork over much dollars for new plants come spring. But wait a minute. Do I see green? Yep, I surely do. Most people would have tossed these plants without looking for life. I found enough plants with green below the soil line to provide rootings for myself and the whole neighborhood. Look below. Them bad boys laughed at them 3 degrees. Nature gave me one heck of an itch; and people, I guess I'll be scratching for the rest of my life. Yes!

I love begonias also - they just seem so full of life.
Fortunately, I have a place to "store" some of my plants like these so I always keep 2 or 3 pots in reserve - just waiting for spring so i can take them outside and see them happy in a flower bed.
They are pretty tough aren't they?
Yes, they are tough. If the temperature had dropped to 25, I would have expected to find a few alive. But 3 degrees. I was very surprised!
