# Has anyone else ever had a Wax Begonia re-appear from the previous…

Has anyone else ever had a Wax Begonia re-appear from the previous year?

I bought a small three pack, maybe a 6 pack, of Wax Begonia sprouts in Spring of 2022 and I also bought one small Hosta. I placed the Hosta into the large, silly, my generations version of a pet rock, tipped on its side terra cotta pot. I also placed at least 2 of the Wax Begonia i to this pot.

Through out the summer 2022 season the Wax Begonia exploded. It over shadowed the Hosta. Then Fall 2022 arrived and the Wax Begonia in all pots died. I pulled out the Wax Begonia from the pots and wished the Hosta good luck for the upcoming winter months.

In the Philadelphia area it got dark like normal in Winter and never got winter cold. Even fig trees that i placed in the cold dark basement never hibernated. They just kept growing.

Fast forward to July 2033 and two Wax Begonia plant shoots began to appear in the tip over pot along with the tiny Hosta. And today October 2, 2023 the Wax Begonia continues to grow and flower.

Has this rebirth of the red flowering Wax Begonia happened to others in the past?

Woah! I didn’t think begonias could do that. Maybe it went to seed and dropped some back in the pot? 🤷

Has never happened to me, but just wanted to say that’s a beautiful hosta

Hey there.

If I had known as a kid they could come back then I would have told Mom every Mothers Day..

If you take care of this then i can put the money Id use to buy another next year to my college fund. 😂

As for the Hosta. I love Hosta’s. Thins guy though is not as big as I’d expect. I know they can grow in pots as Ive seen them around Phiily. A
