Thanks everyone! Yup, pretty much begonia heaven! I suppose I'll worry about how to stuff them into my greenhouse for winter later - but for now I'll just enjoy their beauty and the pleasure they bring!!

Kell and Sue found some nifty begonias at the sale and then we found some more while shopping in Oakland! Grabbed a 'Tiger Kitten' and a noid cane that looks like 'Medora' but with serrated edges. It's very dainty! Zuzu got a pretty tuberous variety (actually a two-fer, two colors in one pot!)

We found such incredible stuff while out gallivanting through Berkeley and Oakland. I'm in hot pursuit of a fuchsia I fell in love with at EB nursery. I have the standard green one, but this one is variegated. Fuchsia procumbens 'Variegata' The flowers don't even look real! I'm hoping my photos turn out. The plant itself isn't all that exciting, but as a ground cover it's, well, pretty darn nifty!!

EB had some nice begonias, "Looking Glass", "Boomer", "Emerald Lacewing", erythrophylla, and thurstonii. And Longs had some noids. All in all it was a pretty glorious day. And the 'Goddessii' made it all that much more special! (for an explanation of the Goddessii, see Kell's thread and DrDon's thread http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=2485991 http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/620333/ )
