This is Sylvan Triumph. It's one of the oldest hybrids, so says an old
catalog from Logees. What I don't like about this begonia is it doesn't
want to branch naturally. So I decided I didn't like it
and have mistreated it for years. Anytime a branch got broken, I
would just stick it down in the closest pot, and it roots in no time. Of
course it does, I don't like it.
Imagine my surprisewhen googling another begonia, I found a website
calling this a lovely begonia and charging more for this one than any
other. LOL So now I've repotted the 3 I have to try and see what I've
been missing. It's so pitiful, don't know if there's any hope.
