Nice plants! You really do a great job on them!

The Begonia is "Beefsteak Begonia".

WOW! I have NEVER seen a bloom stalk on it that big!!! That is fat too!
Must be all the good light it gets by the door. Do you take yours outside for the summer?
I do--It loves it and gets all lush--and then when I bring it into my dim house--it loses all the
beautiful big leaves it grew while outside. Back to square #1.

Mine gets gnarly every couple of years--and then I try to transplant it and start new ones.
It never seems to "take" from those fat, gnarly stems....
These are easy enough to start from one leaf in water, though.

Here is one from years ago--in its glory! Oct. 2009
