Mom and local volunteer by day, and Begonia grower and photographer by night!

This blog will include my meanderings into growing exotic begonias and gesneriads, keeping up with my outdoor garden work, and learning  all I can about focus stacking macro photography.

I am trying to grow species begonias, and have a few endangered plants that I hope to propagate and share with other begoniacs so that we can ensure these plants do not disappear from Earth forever.

I love taking closeup photos of some of the incredible textures, colors and compositions I find in nature.

I hope to share the good, the bad and all of the in-between experiments into these passions of mine in this blog.

Welcome!
