Alphabet colors or Floral Kingdom/Begonia/Азбука цветов или Цветочное царство/ Бегония

Welcome, o lovers of fairy tales my own and I bring to your attention the further adventures of Masha and Zhenya in the Flower Kingdom.

The very next day after that memorable adventure,when the guys got acquainted with flowers called Astra, Eugene ran to Masha.

'Well, we go again to the same clearing? not even breath properly, asked Eugene.

• No, not today, slightly smiling, she replied.
  Why? Why you don't want to go on a trip? - puzzled asked the boy - because it was fun. Yes, and interesting too...We never, ever go on a trip?
• Calm down, Eugene, of course, we'll continue our adventure, if you so desire. Just today I'm not feeling well and promised my mom that from the yard or foot. But don't worry, we'll find a fun and in the garden. There we grow a lot of different colors.
• By the way, have you already written your report about the Astra? - frowning, asked my friend Masha. - And you promised yourself to read about the other flowers on the letter "A".
• Well, - hesitated one - I have the drawings finished and the report had not yet begun to write. But I will write you no doubt. And the book will read it too.
• Okay, okay, I will check tomorrow, - just like Mary, said Masha. Now let's go to the garden.

And they cheerfully ran down the path that led them into the Kingdom of flowers.

In the flowerbeds were so many beautiful, fragrant flowers that eyes are dazzled.

• And what colors are we going to say today? asked Jeka.
• Let's go in alphabetical order, is smiling slyly, made a treacherous teacher, that the alphabet at the same time to remember...
• The next letter we have is "B", that will remember the flowers on that letter.

• You, for example, what flowers can remember, and at the same time to find here in the garden?

Eugene thoughtfully wrinkled his forehead, trying to dig out from the depths of his memory something, but I couldn't.

Then Mary led him over to one of the beds and pointed to the bushes with yellow and orange flowers.

• Do you have not seen these ever? - she asked him.
• Well, why, seen, resentfully grumbled one. I just don't know what they are called.
  Is - marigolds, like? - asked the girl.
• Well, - said evasively housing. I do like those, - he pointed to a beautiful sprawling bushes of begonia.

Is - begonia, is on the same letter. Well, stop while on this flower, because it can tell a lot.

And Mary began her story, unwittingly imitating her teacher.

For example, you know that the begonia comes in many varieties, not only this? The color of the petals it can be not only pink, but also white, yellow, orange or red.

• It's a pity that with such a variety of colors, they do not smell. But bloom all summer and autumn until the first frosts. Here is something these flowers do not tolerate, so in the cold season they must be removed into a warm room, and in the spring, as the weather gets warmer again to make out.
• Begonia loves the sun, look how it grow freely under the warm rays. Watering should be in moderation, not flooding.

• How to breed? - asked Zhenya, - Out of how many you have, I would also like to plant them in the garden with my grandmother.
• Very simply: you seeds, and you can simply leaves or cuttings. Just wait, will be back soon my mom will cut you cuttings and show how to plant them to root.
• In the meantime, let's go have some tea with cowberry jam.
• Also the letter "B," smiled Eugene.

When in the evening he left presented him with cuttings of begonias, promised my girlfriend that the next time would bring her her report about the Astra, and your notes about the colors, about which he read in books.

Goodbye and you, my dear readers.

Thank you for your attention. Up to new meetings!

Prodolzhenie should...
