Does anyone know where i can find begonia venosa?
Begonia venosa
Kartuz
And here is our very own Lali girl (Begoniacrazii) with Mike Kartuz himself.
yeah yeah, nice, now move over you two and let me get a look see at those begonias behind them!! Oh la la ! LOL!!
He is low on some things even though they show available so it's probably a good idea to email for availability.
Oh and pssst, Lali I'll take one of everything including that one you're holding!

That one I'm holding was a gift from Brad Thompson, it's B. 'Miss Mary Ann', (sp? I'll have to check the tag again) I had one of his hybrids that he no longer had so I brought it to him - in return, he gave me this one and one of his coveted 'Mission Bells' OMGosh they're so gorgeous!
Here's one of his seedlings.
This one is similar to the one he gave me. (color)
Here's a close up of Miss Mary Ann
OH my, love them all! Especially the sweet yellow bloom on the first one!! Sigh...
Hannibal, did you try Logee's Greenhouse as a source for begonia venosa? Sometimes they have a few of an item and it isn't listed in their catalog but they have them if you ask. It is worth a try.
I would like to thank everyone for helping me.I bought 2 B.venosa from Kartuz.com.I have noticed that they must be kept on the dry side.I have been growing plants for 40 years,and recently joined the American Begonia Society and the Delaware Valley Begonia Society.I received 2 beautiful healthy plants from Kartuz.
What Beautiful Begonias! Never knew there were so many different begonias and I never saw so many in one place before! The name Begoniacrazii really fits! I LOVE the one you said is his seedling .... the creamy/yellowish flowers! That's a seedling? It looks huge! Do you know the name of it? I really like that flower, sorta looks like a miniature magnolia bloom.
