Eliza Waters 
Beautiful indeed.
Thank you, Anne.
Magic happening here!
🙂 Agreed, thanks N!
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you, Saania!
💜💜
Magical!
Thank you, Fi!
Oh that detail!
Thank you, Dawn!
Yes. Cameras can capture the inner part of a plant, seeping out through leaves and flowers and it is amazing. With flowers, when I see these beads of moisture, I think, “Oh, this is what I smell.”
Thank you, Cindy. Nature’s art always captivates!
They truly are spellbinding, Eliza. Stunning camera angle!
Thank you, Anita. The morning sun lights them up so beautifully, I had to try to capture it!
And you certainly did!
Almost as on a glass of cocktail 😉
🙂 Tequila sunrise, ha!
Nicely done
Thank you, Derrick.
Fabulous photos.
Thank you, Liz!
Lovely winter companion.
Indeed, thanks, Judy!
The lighting is simply magical. Love it! 😊
Thank you, Irene!
It’s so hard to really “see” with the camera, but you did a pretty good job there!
Thank you very much! I had to crop closely, but it worked. I love that crystalline beauty.
Wow, fabulous shots, Eliza!
Thank you kindly, Donna!
Lovely colors! I love the shape of begonia leaves.
Thank you, Alice. And there is so much variety between species, such a lovely plant.
The light really does change its colors.
Backlighting reveals the beauty in leaves so well. Thanks for stopping by.
These are lovely… (Suzanne)
Thank you, Suzanne!
Looks good enough to eat. 😉
Yes! 🙂
Texture and crunch there. Some begonias are just irresistible.
You got that right. Thanks, Allison!
I generally have a soft spot for begonias, and you have captured these leaves back-lit in the sunshine so beautifully.
Thank you, Carol. Macro opens up a whole other dimension.
Very pretty

Indeed!
Lovely translucency.

Thank you, Lisa. Sunlight makes them glisten so beautifully.
Absolutely stunning, they’re beautiful!

Cool. Begonias always look so sparkly when they catch the light, good for you to be able to catch it in a photo!
Thank you, Frank!
Gorgeous, Eliza! 🙂

Thank you, S! Isn’t that sparkle marvelous? 🙂

My shade house has more Begonias than any other plant.
