Lady--

I know that any Begonia would sun burn if it sat in full sun.
I keep my big one on my front steps which face NE--mostly North.

I think it can take some sun--and then the leaves would get really dark red...Pretty!
So--AM sun for a few hours would be OK.

Grayon--

My sister lives in Alaska---and a few years ago, she ordered White Clover to grow over her lawn.

I have had white clover "colonizing" over my lawn--there is too much now....Is it a weed???
I am torn--whether I should spray it and kill it--or leave it go. Normally--I have a nice, grassy lawn.
This is green and compact--but it is NOT grass.....

It is known that White Clover fixates Nitrogen....
Someone please tell me what "fixates" means in this context?????

Holly---There is a blue something-or-other that blooms in all kinds of containers.
It is not as gentle or draping as Bacopa--but it sure lives through all kinds of weather.

The blooms are small, star-shaped--and the stems jut out sideways....Lots of leaves too.
I have seen this a lot in the HUGE planters around Shopping Centers....Name????

Grayon--Is this the AW Begonia you are talking about????
