Begonias for the Serious Gardener by James A. Lynch
Lionel Cota a wheelchair bound retired Air Force photographer shares his passion for tuberous begonias. Starting with six tubers in 1949 he now gardens hundreds of double blooms at his Windsor Avenue home. He offers practical culture tips from indoor sowing to winter storage and notes begonias require daily care, sun exposure, drainage, and specific feeding practices. He praises medium select tubers from Welterra & Reinelt and European stock and describes a method to prevent mildew and encourage large blossoms.
