Sir! Hey You! Bastard! There are forty other spots you could be napping that are NOT going to ruin my flowers!
Sentire i palpiti della natura in ogni fiore che sboccia. Per sempre grata ai suoi misteri, alla sua grandezza, alla gioia immensa che procura. Per ogni petalo di rosa, un ricordo che vale e non sbiadisce. Se il profumo è cura per i pensieri e i pensieri generano forza e temperanza, rendete merito ad una rosa.

There are over 1500 species of Begonias. Native to Asia, Africa and Central and South America, they mostly grow in areas closer to the equator. The Begonia only produces one or two blooms, but they come in striking colours such as red, white, yellow, orange or pink.
The Begonia was discovered in 1690 by French Botanist Charles Plumier in the then French colony of Santo Domingo (The Dominican Republic in the modern day). He named them after his favourite botanist Michel Bégon, who was also the French Governor of Haiti.
Although today Begonias are mostly just ornamental flowers, they were one used to treat burns, kidney pain and toothache, as well as being used to polish swords. Whilst edible in small amounts (although sour tasting) they can be potentially toxic in large quantities.
A Japanese horticulturist, Mototeru Kamo is responsible for cultivating a hybrid of a Begonia known as the Kimjongila in honour of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. It is also the floral emblem of the country.
Begonias symbolise a fanciful nature, and when given away can mean a warning to “be cautious” or “be aware”
Does being aware of the Begonia make you want to create? Let us know, and consider signing up to take part in the Summer Blooms Zine when applications open on April 20th!

A Special Daffodil from Our Regent Square Garden
I had never noticed a daffodil that looked like this. It looks more like a dahlia to me. I had seen a couple walking my dog through Regent Square and then low and behold a couple showed up in our garden. My wonderful wife again surprising me with what she plants.
