Beginner begonia grower here, thought I'd chime in with my first experiences from this season. Went for Gryphon when I first saw them at Home Depot, on sale. I bought one, planted it in-ground, waited two weeks and it just took off! I rushed back and bought 3 more to make them a nice landscape feature clump. The foliage is beautiful, they are 3 ft tall, but I have not had any flowers yet. It sure seems to like the conditions here - hot and steamy, high filtered shade, acid soil under a big oak tree. I'm very curious to see how they go through the winter.
