    All with really healthy & luscious leaves but no colour ?

    Sorry, don't know about begonias but does anyone know - would it not be time for Sweet William to have flowered?

    My tuberous begonias are only now starting to flower, make sure you are keeping them well fed and watered, the weather in Dublin (and probably Kildare) has been very dry over the last month or so.

    Feed them with a high potash feed like Tomorite.

    Hairdrier, Sweet William are usually grown as a biennial so it would depend on when the seed was sown but mature plants should be flowering now.
