Begonias like my rabbit's manure

I've had to trim the center flowers back to keep them from taking over.

I don't see any rabbits. I guess the flowers are so thick the bunnies have a place to hide. Nice garden.

Great display, nice to have a decent garden. I didn't appreciate my garden until I left for an arid environment where the plants have thorns and the flowers suffer from heat, mineral deficiency, drought and goats.

good lord, jill, how many rabbits do you have?!? very nice flower beds - awful tough here in kansas to get something that looks that good without spending a fortune on irrigation.

Number of rabbits changes on a regular basis.
(I have Mini Rex and most the time around 42, depending on sales and new litters, my Dad sorta didn't warm up to them until he saw how the manure grows his garden!)

Jill your flower bed looks great. Do you compost your rabbit manure before you put it in your bed? By the way I believe your flowers are impatiens and periwinkles not begonias. Very nice I need some bunnies.

Bingo, they are indeed 'New Guinea' Impatiens. I was wondering when somebody would correct that. (I knew better after I posted it) The center flower is not Periwinkles and I've only planted them this year and forgot what they are. Maybe somebody else can say? I did look a little bit online and didn't find them, but found Periwinkles and they don't appear to be that.
Yes I collect all the manure and put it in a big compost bin with other organic materials to compost, before we use it on our gardens. Rabbit manure is considered to be one of the best types for growing.

I found they are Vinca; Madagascar periwinkle, so you know your flowers!
