Begonia 'Bonfire'

Begonia 'Bonfire' is a new plant for my garden this year.  I rescued it from the sale area at a garden center. It was orginially $25 and was on sale for $5.  'Bonfire' was clearly on its last legs.  The leaves were turning yellow and dropping.  I couldn't pass up this plant though.  The weeping form caught my eye and the flower's shape looked like a tulip with a beautiful coral color.

I brought it home and took it out of it's hanging basket.  I planted it in my favorite urn under a cherry blossom tree.  I also gave it a shot of fish emulsion.  It's been about two weeks and it is starting to make a come back.  I still need to work on getting those leaves to achieve a more healthy color.  This is an annual in this area.
