Sounds like you made a haul!! I think some of the names are off or misspelled - barsalouxiae, Royal Lustre (English spelling), Abu Dhabi (Arab capital of U.A.E.), and maybe a couple more. Is that Queen Olympus or just Olympus? My Q.O. is looking very good (so is R.L.)

Maggie Nodal gets HUGE!! Not the biggest leaves but the plant gets very large. My Golden Glow didn't perform as well as I hoped it would so I hope yours does better. Purple Snow can be a stinker (mildew magnet in winter) but is one that looks great when it is growing outdoors. June has done very well for me. It looks similar to Marmaduke without a lot of fuss. Lauderdale Lakes is a so-so begonia for me - maybe it needs repotting.

Some I haven't heard of - must be Tim's newest ones or ones he changed names on.

I think the Flamingo Soup is really Flamingo Soul.

Love your picture of maculata. Here is my picture of probably the same scene but it is slanted.

I told you that the suitcase method works pretty good. Maybe a few damaged leaves but for the most part they travel well.
