I want an old fashioned beefsteak begonia. Begonia Erythrophylla, I think. Does anyone know where I might purchase this plant? It's a lovely old variety and I've looked for one for years. Thank you for any help in this search.

Old fashioned begonia
And I have subscribed to DG. I think it hasn't been recorded for posting yet.

glasshouseworks.com sells them. that's where I got mine from last year.
It's blooming right now, as a matter of fact.

Joy,
I have one that I'd be happy to send a cutting of if you haven't bought one yet.

Here it is March 1st and I'm just now checking my post. Thank you GH and Sharon for the kind replies to my question. I did find a nice young man on GardenWeb who is sending me a cutting and rhizome from his mother's old beefsteak begonia. It would be wonderful to have another cutting from a different plant in case I don't have good luck with this one.
