Great bunch of begonias, calif_sue.

GHW usually sends freebies/bonuses which kept me coming back as a repeat buyer despite that they usually get something wrong. This year was the very worst from them.

That last picture is probably thiemei (don't you love the spelling on these things?). Carolineifolia looks very similar but the leaves are slightly different (I think thiemei has a hook on some of its leaves whereas carolineifolia is fairly uniform) and I think its rhizome is a lot larger but I will have to wait to see how my thiemei grows.

Check out these pictures.
