OH....Sally and Paul--

Just FYI---the small begonia I gave you--and, Paul, you said,at the Swap, that
you just bought, is called "Don Miller". (Haaa...Sally.....)

Sally--the long-leafed--green-speckled one I gave you is called "My Special Angel".

How do I know? Hcmcdole (Butch) and I have started long e-mailing. He is an absolute
Begonia addict. Has hundreds and hundreds--and knows the name of them all.
He sent me pictures of his Begonias--ALL over his yard--on the ground--
like a ground cover...Crazy!

Normally--you will find him on the Computer Forum chiming in with good advice.
That is how we started...I had issues with my computer...

He hated just being able to post ONE picture at a time on D-mails--and hopped over
to e-mailing. OK with me...
Need to send him a "Hi"--with some pictures of my garden. It has been a while...

1 & 2 Here is the small Begonia I am talking about....
3--This is one from Olga--she calls it her "Spanish Begonia". I have several.
It is called "Lana"--or maybe "Sophie Cecile"...

Don't have a pic of your long-leafed one, sally. YOU do!

G.

edited to add that the "Don Miller" Begonia can take full sun.
