Begonia x hiemalis

Lovely shades of pink to salmon on this one's blooms.

Good closeup. I love how the flowers keep forming until there is almost a circle of old calyxes (that can't be correctly spelled) on the stem. Sometimes I finally cut the whole flower stem off and let it start some new ones. That color you have is really nice. Mine is pinkish-salmon, it is posted here on this page (from last year). I would like to get some bedding begonias (wax) in some salmon shades with green leaves. Have you seen any?

My neice gave it to me for Easter. The blooms are a really bright color that standsout nicely. Cutting off the flower stems is a good idea. I'll have to try that. I haven't seen any salmon waxleaf begonias lately. Thanks for your comments.

I LOVE these begonias, but usually can't find them. Where do you all buy them? I think I found one at Lowe's last year, but nothing so far this year.

I got mine at Walmart a couple of years ago. It was with the Valentine's Day plants, I think. They had them again this year but I did not get another one. Good luck finding one.
