Thanks critter! Your begonia is lovely and I'd love to have it, but at this point I'd just kill it. I don't know what it is with me and those begonias! I try so hard to take care of them and they just go kaput! While we were on vacation, I did find a few angelwing begonias (the only type I can keep alive so far, but I received a few of some other type in a trade that I'm really, really trying to take good care of) which insisted on coming home with me. A couple of them are unnamed and then there's 'Sinbad' and 'Dancing Lady' both of which I think are lovely. I'll post pictures of them if I can find them.
nanna, I hope you don't mind if I step in on your thread with pictures. As consolation I'm willing to share cuttings! LOL
Here's 'Sinbad' It had lovely pink blooms all over, but the ride home in the trunk all the way from Florida (I know, I know, but I couldn't put our kids in the trunk! LOL) caused it to lose them all. I brought home about 15 plants in the trunk. They pouted a bit, but none died. Next year we're taking the truck! LOL
