RE: Begonias for baskets

in #begonia6 years ago

Hey @ctrl-alt-nwo hope you are fine.
Begonia is very beautiful and attractive plant. But i have a little confusion about the flowers of Begonia, you write that the flower of Begonia plants are have cololurful sepals but not petals, But today i read an artile which describe that the flower has two pairs of sepals and petals. Can you help me with that confusion?
Here is the link https://www.britannica.com/plant/begonia

Sort:  

Begonias come in many varieties, some have more sepals than petals, and some have more petals than sepals. I guess that to be more accurate, it could be said that the colour in Begonias is due to a combination of sepals and petals. Does that clarify it for you ?

Yes thank you for clarification, now i got it.
