My favorite begonia of the trip was found there at Gazebo.

I saw it from a few feet away and as I approached it I thought I am buying this one for sure. I started taking photos of it, part of my courtship.

A few away Mike was holding court with other begonia maniacs. At first I was so mesmerized by my find I wasn't listening to them. Soon however, maybe even as I my hand went out to claim my newly found prize, I realized the begonia I thought was to be mine was actually a very rare one destined to be shown in the convention show. I was so sad. So close yet so far away. LOL

Last year when I was there I fell in love with 2 begonias, Gazebo, a dotted cane and Red a sport from Fred. The unattainable Gazebo was all the rage last year with people swooning over it and wanting it. This year I found a very nice Gazebo sitting there for sale so this year I got that one in my needy clutches.

Angel Glow does glow. The object of my desire.
