Put some compost in a shallow tray (seed) and lay the corms in it with the top showing. If you can't work out which is the top then it has an indentation. Put in a light warm place - Mine are in spare room on window ledge that has a very low heat and you will begin to see little tiny pink buds. Keep compost moistish. ready to pot on when there are leaves on, but do not put out until we have said goodbye to frosts
Only experience of begonia's is one some years ago. Remember really cold cold winter. Inadvertently left hanging basket on side of house. Next april when thinking about baskets and summer - got it down and saw a small shoot. Thought - give it a chance. Replanted it. Was absolutely wonderful all summer with loads of red flowers. Will now try a more conventional way.
Been to GC today. Got a new obelisk, black, metal sort of wavy. Got a clematis last year but hadn't got round to planting it. Will have to find a suitable spot. Had fun wrestling into the car!
Also found a couple of bargains on the alpines trolley, phlox I think but didn't have a label, some nearby did, should have paid more attention. Good size, ??1.50 instead of ??5.99. Bigger leaves than the creeping phlox I already have. Will have to wait and see! Didn't get a proper look outdoors as it was freezing (my children were moaning too, they class a visit to the GC cafe as compensation!)

Talk to them Sue-or place them in trays or pots of compost-with the top just below the surface-somewhere warm and they will get going

I have two deep questions
1)Why do pregnant ladies in soaps always fall over at some point and end up in hospital for the baby to be safe, lost, born too early etc?
2)Why do wedding ceremonies in soaps never go according to plan?
