Does anyone know me?

I would like to see if anyone knows this begonia.

Here is a close up of the leaf

back of the leaf

It looks like 'Lucerna' - an oldie but a must have for everyone. It was our very first begonia (over 30 years ago) and is a great pass along plant. Hard to kill.

I concur! and it's a nicely grown one too!

Wow, that's one happy plant! Beautiful too. Congrats and thanks for showing us the pic.

Nice Lucerna.

Just happened across this thread. My best friend is coming in for the weekend. She is a cane begonia nut!!!! We are potting up new cuttings, but our all time favorite is Cane Lucerne!!!! She says that hers on the patio right now is over 6 feet tall..............amazing in a pot....

Ok I'm hooked on this one and can't find a supplier on the net. Would anyone be willing to trade a cutting?

Of course.....but you gotta give me a couple of weeks....have trades going out on Monday and the following Monday.....just dmail me......that is how I keep track of what I have promised.

In my mailbox I have file folders-trades working on & trades sent (and I still lose track).

dale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just envy you for being able to successfully grow rex begonias!!!!

I can't even find the original notebook where I kept all trades with addresses, etc..................I am not sure that , except for my dmail, I will ever keep up.....

I have piece of Lucerna coming thanks to a very generous gardener. Thanks everyone.

I'm going to put Lucerna on my want list :~)

Dale,
I do it the same as you do...with folders for d-mails

dale,
in your photo above, what is the name of the lower right one with the slender "fingers" hanging down?

newbie, some kind of Hoya from Angel Plants.

It is fantastic, dale, but it sure looks like some kind of begonia and not hoya to me..................are you sure???

The plant with slender spotted leaves is a hoya. What I would like to know is what is the plant with the rectangular leaves????

The plant with spotted leaves is ledebouria (silver squill) and the one with rectangular leaves is a silver dollar maidenhair fern (Adiantum peruvianum).

YES! It was the silver squill I was asking about...Thanks hcmcdole!

Hey Dale, I too have a question on your photo above. What kind of begonia is the one with the black leaves on the right??

It was not my flower box, belongs to a friend. Our plants rarely come with ID tags here. I just buy 'em and plant 'em. I have no idea what its name is.

This isn't the hoya forum but today at a nursery called Gill's in CC they had hanging baskets of the most beautiful variegated hoya I have ever seen................I wouldn't buy as they were 24.00 each.....
