I don't recognize the baby rex, Kelly. What is it? I have a feeling it will change quite a bit when it gets bigger. For example, Fireworks looks similar to that when it has young leaves but changes dramatically when it matures.

That last begonia picture looks like it has potential to be a big one. It's hard to guess what a plant is when it has young leaves. Marci and I bought Lotusland and Red Bluff together at The Gazebo. My Lotusland is toast (to my best guessimate) but the Red Bluff is doing pretty good. I got another small Red Bluff at Ades but now that it has put some size on it looks more like Freddie than the Red Bluff I got at Mike's place.

I will have to get a picture of the two RBs together and let you decide.

Here is a young 'Fireworks' leaf.
