I have not had deer damage to begonias and we don't have groundhogs where we live (crossing fingers we don't get any either). I've got more problems with two big dogs fighting and tipping pots over or an overzealous tail wagging that depcapitates plants. Rabbits always seem to eat my sunflower blooms before they get any size on them but so far (knock on wood) they have let the begonias alone. I've had a couple of passionate box turtles nestling among pots but surprisingly no damage.

I didn't know DW had white and orange blooms. There are some "baby" DW that have white blooms but the leaves look more round than the typical DW. I bet the major growers are busy working on introducing new colors since DW is such a popular bedding plant.
