In a square a few days ago I mentioned my plan to overwinter this gorgeous Lemon Berry begonia as a houseplant and several of you educated me on how that probably won’t work. I had no idea that tuberous begonias need a dormant period to flower again. So new plan…enjoy it while it lasts. Thanks for sharing what you know! Isn’t she pretty?! 😊🪴@wakefield_handmade #ihadnoidea #changeofplans #pivot #houseplants #begonia #tuberousbegonia #hereshegrows #houseplantsmakemehappy #chicagogardening #heatherblackmore #pottery #plantpots

The Banana Cream II daisies are hanging on to the very end. I planted three small plants this year and they’ve flowered consistently all season long. Sometimes I deadhead, sometimes I don’t and they keep on keepin’on. @provenwinners @greatgardenplants #theendisnear #beforethefrost #daisies #upsydaisy #daisiesfordays #happyflowers #easyplants #perennials #cottagegarden #gardening #zone5bgarden #chicagogardening #backyardgardener #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore #gardenwriter #gardenphotography

I dug this begonia out of a container on the patio and am going to try overwintering it indoors. Lemon Berry begonia, part of the I’CONIA series from @dummenorangena @dummenorangeeu is the prettiest begonia I’ve ever seen. Everything about it from the variegated leaves to the two-toned pendulous flowers is just so elegant. I think the @wakefield_handmade pot is the perfect vessel for this beauty too. #houseplantsmakemehappy #houseplantaddict #houseplants #houseplantsofig #coffetabledecor #houseplantdecor #indoorgardening #begonias #chicagogardening #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore #gardenblogger

American Dawn dahlia is a new favorite. I planted it near a Limetta hydrangea that’s moved into its autumn phase. I think they look beautiful together. #dahliasofinstagram #fallgarden #octobergarden #octoberflowers #plantpartners #plantcombos #growwhatyoulove #inmygardennow #myhappyplace #chicagogarden #mixedborder #americandawn #zone5bgarden #smallspacegardening #gardenblogger #gardenphotography #gardenmoment #cottagegarden #mixitup #greenthumb #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore
