wow! Looks great in it's bowl and outside!

Thanks for the idea to check out both Taylor and Kartuz, sadly neither have it.

I think I have it. Came unnamed, but it looks like Amelia to me. If it stops raining, I'll take a picture of it.

Here's a picture from '08:

Thanks for taking the picture, I'll send the photo link along to Paul and see if it's a match!

I got close ups of several leaves a couple of days ago. I tried to focus on the center of the leaf and major veins. When I downloaded the pictures I found this one to be rather fascinating.

Same picture only cropped for the interesting bug.

That bug looks transparent. Great shot.

ooooo, so pretty all of them. Not sure about that bug, though.. Can't tell if he has a mouth that chews up leaves...lol Hopefully he eats aphids and white flies!

hcmcdole, that broad shot of your backyard is absolutely amazing!

dbsmith2, WHAT is that amazing container grouping made up of?! Those polka dotted leaves are so cool, and look great with the little green variegated plant!

wow i have a lot to learn had no idea they can get that big,i know not every one will but nice to know there are large growers,

hcmcdole, you have a beautiful collection of Rx Begonias.
Some I had no idea existed.

I have only one which I watch constantly. I have not fertilized it since I don't know what to use. It is indoors, but would love to put it outdoors if it won't die.

Any tips in growing would be greatly appreciated.

I have the evergreen strawberry begoinia if you are interested.
