Today I happened to notice what looks like hundreds of small white eggs throughout on top of the soil of the tuberous begonia!!!!! WTF!??!? This has never happened before. I can only guess that if these are in fact eggs, some critter came in with the bulb when I brought in inside in the fall, and despite being in a paper bag with no water or anything for several months, somehow the critter survived and laid all these eggs!?!?!? Maybe if there's only one, the eggs won't be viable? Wow, what a mystery.
So I immediately took the pot downstairs and double-bagged it to make sure everything stays inside. Will see if anything emerges from the "eggs".... I sure hope these aren't critters because if so, obviously I'll have to toss the whole thing, and TB has been around for quite a few years, has been a nice tradition.
Not seeing sign of any eggs etc. on anything else.... fingers crossed.
