I got 'Suzanna' last year off eBay. It is thin leaved but is one of the whitest leaf cane begonias I've seen. 'Pink Minx' is very similar except it does have a pink cast to it.

'My Special Angel' is a must have. Not that mine is doing like it did two years ago but the leaves are great. I have not seen 'Orrell'. You will have to post some pictures of it.

Never heard of Baccto potting soil so I had to look it up. It doesn't have a lot of peat in it, does it? I noticed it is from Michigan Peat Co. is why I ask. So far all the recent transplants (80+) in Nature's Helper are doing pretty good despite the triple digit heat wave we had recently. Thank goodness we are back to mid 90's - almost balmy (ha ha).

Here is 'My Special Angel' when it really looked great (Oct 2005).
