I want this one:
I have always had and love begonias. There's so many varieties. Especially at etsy.com
Here's a plant I bought recently and I just love it. Just too cute. I'm getting more live plants now but for now I have plenty. My daughter gave me a pineapple tree which I just adore and then a huge palm tree that I'm crazy about as well. I said I'd never have another life plant in the house but here I have them and I sure am enjoying them. However I had to put that one product that keeps the gnats from infesting your home that love to dig in the dirt. Oh my gosh I was being inundated with gnats when I bought those plants and I had no idea, but when I put that product down, a few inches of it, that stopped that! Oh my gosh it was horrible.
I shouldn't have went to Etsy. I bought these. There was so many and I could not resist these. I'm sure they'll just come as starter plants but I hope they make it.
I couldn't find this one and I was wanting that so bad. Maybe next year.
Why did you delete the image? I was wanting to see it again. Those were just beautiful and I would like to have some myself. I wonder what they were. Oh I see now why you deleted it. That's a shame. I'm going to look and see if there is such a begonia like that because that other lady tried and she kept going back to this one site. It's sad that people have to resort to tricks like this. I thought that was very odd that I had never seen that type plant before.
I'm growing a few very unusual plants myself but unfortunately I cannot post the pictures here cuz I never know who exactly is watching. Have you ever want to exchange gardening tips I'd be glad to help out
@MaryDreamilton because someone else went to the website where they were featured and on the “About” page it said that the image were for sale, no plants were for sale apparently. I’m thinking it could just be another scam site.
@akindheart I went to a single website that featured this and they weren’t even selling them. I believe that they are AI-generated images. If I could remove my post I would. It could be a scam site for all I know.
