Identified!

Some very helpful people have confirmed that my recent purchase is indeed a begonia.  Hurrah!  I like to know these things.  Now that I know what she is (she is clearly a she, not a he), she needs a name.  For a long time I had a busy lizzy called Audrey.  She was my university plant and once, famously, went home with a friend for the vacation.  He drove her all the way from Durham to Edinburgh seatbelted into the front seat.  Sadly, Audrey passed away shortly after I graduated when I left her at home and forgot to remind my mother to water her.


So anyway, Ms. Begonia needs a new name.  If you have any suggestions, add a comment below.  On Sunday, I'll put the entries into a hat and the winner will receive a set of Scrubbitty cloths in the colours of their choice absolutely free.  You see, it's a year since my first ever set of cloths sold on Folksy.  They've come a long way since then!  There's also 10% off everything in Scrubbitty until Midnight on Sunday, and you know, those face scrubbies would make a lovely mothers' day pampering gift for your Mum!

  3. Because of your other shops name, ( Edelweiss - where I original found your lovely cloths) I think of the sound of music ( sad I know) so I would call your pretty little begonia Maria
