It was therapy...I had a tooth pulled Thursday morning and as the novocaine wore off, I did some drawing on the terrace to distract myself. Everything's pretty much OK now. It was good to lose myself in those fuzzy stems, busy petals, and crinkly leaves.

I've been seeing some lovely tuberous begonias around here in the Northwest, in yellows and reds and oranges.

I've always liked them, Hattie, and begonias of all kinds grow pretty well on our shady but steamy terrace in the summer. They're one of the few flowering plants that do well there, though this year I actually have some geraniums (not my favorite plant, but these are OK) in the sunniest spot. And my orchid from Valentine's Day is STILL blooming - and putting out some new buds!
