Did you buy your crassicaulis from GHW? The crassicaulis I got from them looked exactly like that but it isn't really crassicaulis. It is a heavy duty begonia. Now I just call it the monster or sprawler. Before it got frost bit two years ago it probably sprawled between 6 and 8 foot long.

Here it was 3 years ago (a year before the frost damage) on a hot deck in full sun. As long as it got watered every day, it laughed at its conditions.
