You don't say what type of begonia Lemondrop. Can be they short of water in Lancs at the moment?

I bought them from a market stall no label, they are
upright, different colours, can't really elaborate much more sorry. We have had rain for a couple of days the compost is quite wet. it's just a shame to see these lovely flowers in full bloom laying on the floor.

I think some plants like begonias and fuchsias take a while to settle after being relocated. Sometimes they do drop flowers and buds......especially if you try to keep them indoors? Let them be quiet in a shady/sheltered place for a while and dry off a bit. Then a little feed and water. They should settle down.

They aren't indoors, but outside in full sun. I shall do what you say and hope for the best .Thanks for your advice Dorjac.

I've found that begonias do better in shade or part shade. The stems are quite brittle and snap easily. Perhaps the flowers have broken off under their own weight. Has it been breezy where you are Lemondrop?

Thanks Beattie.It has been a bit breezy as well as rain so maybe it's a combination of both......it all makes sense now !
