My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Avoiding self-pollination

19 years ago

Does anyone remove anthers, or use another method, to avoid self-pollination when crossing Begonias? I'm worried that among complex hybrids like rexes, I wouldn't know if a seedling was a selfing or actual cross between two of them.
