For several weeks before Christmas,
our angel wing begonia plant put forth clusters of flowers. The pinkish flowers did not have any notable
scent, but they added festive color to our bay window.
Well, the party is over.
Now, every morning when I open the blinds
at the bay windows, I find the equivalent of a begonia murder scene. Withered blossoms, their color drained to
brown, lie strewn on the carpet below the plant—each having been shed unceremoniously,
if not viciously. More recently (this
morning included) I have been finding leaves seemingly severed and dropped to
the floor.
Either something wicked is afoot or
the plant is suffering from blossom exhaustion.

The plant is supposedly dying but from your photo the flowers still look gorgeous!
