I was excited to find a plant mail order place that sent to Hawaii. I was especially excited because I could get rex begonias. They’re my current favorite kind of houseplant. But I had to wait for a paycheck before I had spare money to order plants with.
But I got a paycheck! Woo hoo! And I ordered begonias! Woo hoo! And they came in the mail! Woo hoo!
How lucky for those plants that they get to retire in Hawaii! How do those arrive? Do they mail them in a box?
They point all the leaves up, then wrap the plants in paper. Then they put them in a long, skinny box. These plants were only in the mail a couple of days, so they did quite well.
Oh, begonias are beautiful plants. I bet they will thrive on your lanai.
The begonias that you left with me are very happy. They miss you though. I have kept them indoors since you left because they didn’t seem happy outside in the heat. Can’t wait to see how your new plants grow.
