The rex begonias are beyond me too Susan! Not near enough humidity here. Hope your Dr takes care of your eyes so you can play plants! I'm pretty sure the Dianthaflora is an Alsobia which is still in the AV family. Beautiful white fringed blooms.

I bought a big Alsobia Dianthaflora at HD last fall and it has never bloomed once since bringing it home!! I have also had two other alsobias that never once bloomed for me so obviously not a plant for me!! LOL

I enjoy the fantasy streps a lot with no two blooms ever blooming the same. Look at all the pink in the newest Party Boy blooms I have. This Party Boy plant also gives off much lighter colored blooms than any others I have ever seen.......
