It looks like a dwarfed version of the common Deagon Wing begonia. The leaves are smaller--but still have that wing shape.And--the blooms almost resemble the red wax Begonias. but they are NOT. I work in the Garden Dept. at a Home dDepot--so I notice new plants coming in for sale. This Begonia has been new to me--and very widely used in containers, but NOT available in 4" pots or 6" pots as other annuals are. I have it in a Hanging basket. I also see it in humongous planters in shopping malls and landscaping. It seems to be a form of Dragon Wing B. But--what is it called??? I LOVE it--and plan to take cuttings to grow in my garden next summer. Gita |
