Begonias are planted in Mendel's garden because they are often used in genetics studies as a model plant, similar to the peas Mendel originally used. Begonias are easier to grow and analyze in a shorter time frame compared to peas, making them more suitable for modern genetics research.
Grafting is method in which the cut stems of two different plants (one with roots and other without roots) are joined together in such a way that the two stems join and grow a single plant. The new plant will have characteristics of both the original plants.
When a plant pollinates other plants, it is referred to as cross-pollination. This occurs when pollen from one plant is transferred to the stigma of another plant, leading to genetic diversity in the offspring.
Plants and animals evolved together, so it is not surprising that there are many complex plant/ animal relationships. This process of interdependent evolution of two or more species is called co-evolution. Some relationships are beneficial to both parties, while others have a clear benefit for one at the expense, or even death, of the other. Four important plant/ animal interactions are explored here: plant/ herbivore, plant/ pollinator, plant/ disperser, and other examples of mutualism.
they are epiphytes, they depend on the plant they're growing on.
You can use almost any plant, but some of the most popular are Petunias, Fuscias, geraniums, Begonias, Verbenas, and spider Plants.
You can plant trailing begonias out in pots after they have wintered in early to late Spring - depending on the zone. A rough rule of thumb is to wait until after the last frost or very cold night. If you have propagated the Begonias, then give them some time to get used to the cooler conditions by giving them a little shelter for a few days, such as on a porch,against a house wall or in a cold frame. If they have been indoor forced Begonias, then they may be a little more sensitive and need protection for a little longer:
The best month to plant begonias is typically in spring after the last frost has passed. This allows them to establish themselves before the heat of summer.
Certain types of begonias are considered a very easy plant to grow, however other types are some of the hardest to grow. The ease of growth often depends on the climate they are growing in and the type of soil and water they are planted in.
other plants
The reason why the food that plants make is important not only to the plant themselves, but to other organisms, is because the nutrients that the plant makes from photosynthesis not only helps the plant but other organisms that feed off of the plant and the plant's nutrients.

Parasitic plants
Parasitic plants slide feeding tubes into the host plant and suck out the nourishing juices of the host plant.
Fungus with other plants
The cells of plants group together to form organs and systems.
No, some plants live on other plants.
