No, that isn't Earl. The one you show is the one that was suppose to be crassicaulis but clearly isn't but gets quite large. Not sure if that last one is Kismet but it sure has nice markings. Was this 'Thin Ice'?

Marmaduke is speckled and doesn't look like WP or CL. Are you thinking of Northern Lights?

I want to see your parviflora (parvafolia?) when it matures. If it is what I've seen of parviflora, then save the seed.

I think the parvifolia is small and the parviflora is large. Check out the database at abastro.

Here's a picture of parviflora blooming.

Earl is the big "star" begonia in this group. (At least it was sold as Earl).
