The two begonias at the front of the picture I acquired yesterday in Oklahoma City and Calverts Nursery. They have been in business since 1908 in the same greenhouse. These were tucked back in a private greenhouse because they were seen as too ugly to sell. I got them for half price but knowing rhizos like I do they will come back this spring and summer. Does anyone know which begonia they are?
Hard to tell just yet(for me)-- B. ricinifolia maybe? If it is that one-- It will get HUGE
Yep, hard to tell. Call it Calvert's Hidden Treasure.
Here is an update on the progress of its growth. Still any ideas?
looks more and more like ricinofolia but I like Butch 's name better!
