If you’ve ever read the advice to cut off the flower bud of a begonia to direct energy for leaf growth – don’t do it! You will miss seeing two different flowers bloom on the same plant: male flower – 4 petals with spiky yellow stamen; female flower – 6 petals, a dorsal “fin”, and curly pistil. The term ‘monoecious plant’ means a plant that produces individual male and female flowers. #begonia #begoniarex #rexbegonia #torontoigers #torontoblogger #plants #gardening #leaf #botanical #greenthumb #greenery #plantlife #botany #greenfingers #houseplants #indoorplants #plantlove #plantstagram #indoorgarden #instaplants #plantsarefriends #plantlover #urbanjunglebloggers #indoorgardening
