Anyone know what kind of Begonia this is?

Chillicothe, IL(Zone 5a)

I bought this beautiful Begonia last year and it's thriving for me. Can anyone tell me what it's name is? The one to the far right of the picture (brt. green)
It hasn't bloomed for me but looks like it should if it could! LOL

I have seen one like this and i believe it is a rex begonia. I havent seen one with the spots on it tho. I will try to find out more for you tho. Robbie

Thanks so much Robbie I really appreciate your help!
I visit a lot of plant nurserys and such and have never seen another like it before. Even when I bought it there were only two mixed in with the rest of the rexes, of course my sister in law and I nabbed them up right away! LOL

I love plants like that one. YOu are so fortunate to have found a nice plant like that one. I have a bunch of house plants but dont really have a good place to keep them in the winter time. I got a mini greenhouse that i am keeping some of them in right now. They seem to be doing well in this thing.
What other types of house plants do you have? I haev pictures on my work computer and hopefully i will have time to post them here later this morning. Have a wonderful day, Robbie

I have tooo many house plants. LOL I have what I like to call my winter garden, a "plant room" with 11 48" shop lights and shelves within their very own room. Humidity usually stays at %63 on the coldest winter days and up to
%78 on warmer days. It's how I get myself through the winter months!
I have an orchid that is getting ready to bloom for the first time ever! Due to the fact that this year I keep the plant room door closed and it holds in the humidity. I can't wait to see what color it is! I'll post a picture and let you know when it opens!
I would love to see your pictures! Can't get enough of those.
I have a couple of brugs, a bromiliad, two different kinds of crotons, string of hearts, my daughter's many cactis, Photos and split leaf philodendron, 4 kinds of begonias, wax plants, bird of paradise, a huge papia my daughter grew from seed, definbachia, amarilys, steghorn fern, boston fern, holly fern, lemon tree, a baby mumosa tree seedling, string of pearls, impatience, coleos, a pineapple, irish moss, sorted wild mosses, a 4 year old pointsettia, fiber optic grass, a 5 year old rosemary plant, flowering maple, persian sheild, ponytail palm, spider plants, tropical hibiscus, conocasia (with the white veins), sago palm, 2 dracena's, lantana and around 35 hosta seedlings. I think that's it? Sorry if I got the spelling wrong on some of them.
If you would like a clump of this begonia in the spring I'm sure we could work out a trade of some sort? I posted it on the ID forum and it was ID'd as Begonia bowerae nigramarga! What kind of plants do you have?

I have two types of philodendrens, a kalanchoe, a boston fern, one baby spider plant, one very large jade tree, a very large christmas cactus, aloe vera plants, and several others that i can think of right now. Here is a picture of my jade tree. I have other pictures too. Have a wonderful weekend. Robbie

This is one of my philodendrens. I love this one. It is different than the little heart leaf one. This one is prettier than most. I am hoping to get this one going better this summer when i can put it outside on the front porch.

Neat plants Robbie! I really like the snake plant, don't remember ever seeing one of those before, do you know what family it is in?

Here is a pic of one of my philodendren's, with a christmas cactis.

You know i called that plant a snake plant but is devils backbone. I have no idea what family it is from tho. I have never learned that part before. I do have a mother n law's tongue too. I think it is called a snake plant sometimes too. I will get some more pictures here on this computer either later this evening or tomorrow. Did i say i had aloe vera plants too? My favorited plant is my jade tree. It is so pretty and is quite unusual since it is so large. Robbie

Robbie-- that jade is VERY nice. I'm trying crassula but I always kill them. Crasulady2 sent me a start but it was during a very bad freeze I had here (5º). The plant was damaged, but luckily she sent a pretty big start. One of stems looks pretty good but the other is pretty wilted up from the freeze. Any tips on jade would be appreciated...you've got a mighty purdy plant there.

Langbr, are you interested in having one of the younger jade trees? I plan to root some of them soon as i can cut the limbs and root more small trees. Let me know, Robbie

Lenexa, KS(Zone 6a)

Oooooo....bagby!!! Would you? I really want to get this plant going for me. I'd be willing to try if you are. Do you want to trade for something or SASE? Brenda
