Why Begonias?

The Magic of Begonias

We instantly fell in love with the magic of Begonias.  Begonias represent resilience; although having a delicate reputation and appearance, they are fighting survivors. 


The true magic of begonias is in their ability for regrowth. Even a tiny fraction of a once-broken begonia leaf can experience rebirth into a whole new plant!


Always renewing themselves by putting down new roots; these roots reach horizontally along surfaces, seeking fresh resources. Like the roots of one’s soul, the roots of begonias are always seeking nourishment.


Delicate flowers making thousands of seeds, wind and rain carrying these seeds to sprout across multiple continents and the world. Tiny seeds like pixie dust, forming leaves the size of a pinhead, with the potential to grow into magnificently large specimens. 


And all the beauty which comes out at night; a shimmer and iridescence of the leaves and flowers which can only be seen by the naked eye, under the just the right lighting. All so diverse in shapes and sizes, but so much the same in essence.


A plant meant to be shared within a community to ensure its survival, and not isolated
