    My little Macrame hanging basket that @moyra made for me about 6 years ago.♡♡♡
    Still displaying the Begonia "Sutherlandii" every year. I love this little demure, compact plant with its beautiful leaf form :

                      I've never managed to get them to flower a second time, but having said that, never found any half decent tubers for sale these days.
                      Last ones I bought were just a forest of green leaves from multi headed tubers.

                                @pete - yes another pound shop one is all leaves with me too, but I reckon given a bit of TLC they'll probably flower again. I suspect they need a very dry sunny period - I was given a bulb from Iran where they are widely grown (of course, lost that bulb in house move).
