I bought a Begonia at Home Depot named (according to their tag) TORCH BEGONIA. The tag description is: "Large, dark, solid bronze leaves with clusters of red blooms. Full sun, grows to 12". I can't find this on the PDB. Does any one grow them? Does anyone have a website to share so I can learn more about Begonias? (My latest passion!)
TORCH BEGONIA?

Yes, that's my Begonia!!!! Thanks so much for the links. I have only been growing plants for about a year (since retirement) and for some reason Begonias seem to love me as much as I love them. They grow and bloom better than any other plant I've tried. I'm just now finding out how many different kinds there are!
