I was lucky enough to get this wonderful plant in a trade in early spring. At the time, it was about a foot tall (the division plantlet). I just photo'd it, along with my Size 6 Slogger alongside to show actual size. It's HUGE! I adore this plant, and am hoping it'll survive the winter outdoors under the crepe myrtles. May take a cutting just to be sure!
My FAV. & beloved 'Poponeii' begonia
Oooohhh, kick down, I'll keep it warm for you in the greenhouse until spring ...
Kathleen,
You've done a great job Poponeii!!!! I just knew he was going to a good mommy!
Let me know if he survives the winter outdoors.

Very nice plant !
Oh, Daisy--it's wonderful! Everytime I visit Poponeii, I think, "I'm SO glad Daisy traded w/me!" =) Your corner of my garden rocks, BIG time. ;-)
Jessmerritt........thanks.....my fav too! =)
Kathleen,
Now that's the way to grow em!!
Good grief what are you feeding that thing???lol
Here's a few tips that might help:
I'd be sure and mulch that babies rhizome with plenty of mulch. If it's a cold & wet winter you may loose it to rot. If you can keep it on the dry side it will fair much better.
It's a beauty!!!

Nice, Kaleem! =)
I'm so glad that one made it Kaleem. Its huge also. Makes me think I should take mine out its pot and let it hang out in the flower beds.
