Yellow, mine sere coral. Does this one weep? And do you bring them in when it's colder to keep them through the year? Yes, our summer was so dry. One rain, so plants did not fare too beautifully. However, this Fall has been the best ever in Vermont. A photographer's paradise. Early winter I fear. Just put garden to bed yesterday. Still a few bulbs to do. Gardening for me is sometimes a race!

I had yellow, red, white, pink . This is the first year I've grown so many. As for keeping them overwinter, I hope they will survive the winter as I would like to replant them again next year. I'd like to start much earlier & have them in flower, or at least, in bud, by the end of May so I can put them out on the balcony & enjoy them for much longer.

If by "weep" you mean "trail" then, no, this one doesn't hang down. It has grown about two palm widths high which suited me very well as the balcony is subject to some quite strong winds at times. Apart from a few torn leaves they handled the winds very well.

Nevertheless, I do have 4 hanging baskets with trailing/hanging/weeping Begonias in them. I think I have uploaded some photos of them already.
