Five years ago we took a trip to Dallas, Texas to view the largest collection of begonias in North America, which is housed at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. Now part of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (brit.org), the growing collection, which is not open to the public, is set to become a preeminent worldwide conservation and research collection.
Special thanks to begonia expert and hybridizer, Don Miller, for taking us through this tour again-five years later.

I worked with Don Miller for about 10 years at the high end North Dallas Nursery, Northhaven Gardens in the 2000s. It was such an honor to work with him and absorb his amazing Horticultural knowledge. I helped him with plant maintenance, a little propagating, marketing and ordering, and helped with the many plant societies that we hosted, like the Daylily, Iris, Bonsai, and of course the Begonia, which Don was many times President, Czar, Emperor, and Lord God King Boofoo, both the local, Texas, and National organizations. Don is now at Steve's Leaves, in North Dallas.

When you share with lots of friends, it increases the overall survival of your plant and ultimate your collection. Very wise words from the legend himself. So lucky to know him, this great and kind man!

Recently I got Begonia 'Don Miller' from my botanical garden and it's so amazing to see Don Miller himself! So much knowledge, I'm very impressed. Now 'Don Miller' will have a special place in my heart and collection ❤️

@chuckgoecke Год назад

There's a cool and heart warming and a little sad story about the Don Miller begonia. Don Miller and its sibling very similar, but reddish Maurice Amey, were co-seedlings from the same pod, grown by a close mutual begonia friend from San Antonio I think. Don is silver haired distinguished gentleman, and Maurice was equally handsome black guy and a close friend of Don's from Galveston. Sadly we lost Maurice a few years back. I like that the more pigmented version was named for Maurice, and the silvery one after Don.

Botanical tours are one of my most favorite! Delving deeper into particular genera really peaks my botanical interest.

@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550 2 года назад

After seeing the first tour with Don Miller, I fell in love with the "challenger" begonia and immediately tracked one down! That tour is one of my favorite of your videos! 💚💚💚💚

@summerrayneoakes 2 года назад

It's an AWESOME plant. Steve's Leaves usually grows it.

@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550 2 года назад

That's exactly where mine came from. It took me awhile to catch it on a restock. Friday Night Begonia restocks on Steve's used to be chaos ❤️🤣💚 so many people wanting the same plants.

Wait, did my question some time ago about selling plant cuttings for fundraising make it to this interview, or was this filmed before? I’m glad to hear that they are doing that. Also, no wonder I like begonias, considering several of them are from the “mata Atlântica” region.

@platitudestern5149 2 года назад

Growing up in the VA Appalachians our grandmother lived in a holler with a stream running by. And her home and yard were a veritable jungle of potted begonias, dinner plate dahlias and her ever present garden. I think of her when I see begonias with that characteristic swirl-leaf pattern. But here, in this video was an introduction to an endless variety of leaf shapes I've never seen before. I think I have an affection for the long narrow leaved as well as the palmate leaved species etc. A few of these went on my wish list. Thank you for a great adventure!

@emkn1479 2 года назад

I have one of those orange tuberous begonias, called Bossa Nova I believe. I got a sad looking specimen on clearance a couple of years back and it’s huge now! I use it in a shaded hanging basket during the summer in US zone 6. It stays dormant in the overwintered basket and bounces back into growth the following spring. Such an impressive color and form, and even the stems have such a pretty blueish patina. Oh how I love a begonia😊

Hello Summer Rayne, I hope you will find a botanical garden exclusive for Hoyas too. This video is amazing. Loved it!

There are multiple videos on hoyas, one of a private collecting in Sweden and one of a collection in some gardens in Thailand. I think the last one was supposed to be largest in the world if I remember correctly.

Malochosticta. I couldn't see the pink spots. I hope to find a real life one today, in the 'jungle.' RIGHT now, I find Maculata and the Begonia with the spiralling leaf. I LOVED THE TOUR AND WILL WATCH IT AGAIN TO LEARN MORE. The tour guide is knowledgeable, charming and a wonderful spokesman for the Kingdom of Begonias. Thanks to him and best wishes for more plant fun in the glass house. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Thanks to Team Summer Rayne. 🎶

That video sparks my Love for Begonia, second to Monstera ... and it took me a while to understand / learn/ maintain some in my collection (am STILL learning lots ...) This video is so lovely - so inspiring and Appreciate you revisiting them / their collections - oh so wonderful Oooooo..... to see that B. Brevirimosa on screen so lush almost peed my shorts! Recently got a small cutting which is YES soooo challenging to maintain indoors. If Summer says its drama queen well heck its definitely so!!!!!

:05 Love the hand cranked vent! My first hort job in 1981 featured a glass greenhouse range with no exhaust fans. As the sun popped in and out of the clouds in springtime, one would hustle through the range giving those wheels a big spin up or down! Doubt if I could do it today... Fantastic tour! I keep telling myself that I am not a Begonia aficionado.... LOL

@zeraus.w.0512 2 года назад

35:54: apart from genetics testing, there is another way to determine if a plant is a species- if you are able to locate a population from the wild., away from any human settlement. Now, I did not say 'cultivar' as was mentioned above, because cultivars can also be of wild origin. I believe what was meant when "cultivar" was said in that time stamp was either 'man-made hybrid' or man-made cultivar'. 37:23: to illustrate, a recent trip I did in a remote peak from the central Sierra Madre in Luzon in the Philippines yielded the sighting of at least four potentially undescribed species. We are seeing undescribed begonias faster than botanists can describe and name them.
