I always believed there was hope as long as there was the tiniest speck of green left on a plant. I, too, eventually learned that even some of the brown, crunchy ones can put forth new life. That's why it's fun to browse the "Half Off, Half Dead" racks. Ya just never know what buried treasure you may find! Great article!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. My begonias look so sad at this time of year. Some do have some sparse leaves, others just look like typically dead plants. Half of knowing what to keep is having made the mistake (or not) in previous years.
