    It took several tries, with and without flash, on sunny days and today while it's overcast and I finally got some really good closeup photos of the Elatior Begonia blossoms.
    Yellow is hard to photo but this came out really nice.

    I only found these on the sale rack a week or so ago and they are annuals so they are in pots. I am thinking I might find them earlier in the season next year and put some in the ground so they can reach their full growth.

    I love the shade of yellow of your first begonia Toni - it reminds me of lemon sherbert. The second one looks similar to one of my 'lost label' roses with its colour variations.
