I have pink & white to trade although at this time of the year I can't tell you which is which as they are just coming up. I also have a fantastic variety that has a maroon fuzzy back and the bloom is pink. I'll dig up some pictures for you. I'm out in the garden and will post tonight. I'm interested in begonias.

Hi Kristi,

I'm so looking forward to a trade with you. I am interested in all three begonias you mentioned. Can't wait to see the photo of the fuzzy back with pink blooms. Most of my begonias have been rooting for a while and should be rooted already. If not I can send several cuttings per trade. I will check on them in a few minutes.

I'm searching for more pictures for you :) Here is a pink bunch from last season . This is the one with normal size foliage. The one with the red fuzzy back has very large foliage- looking for pics....

Large foliage one- not a great picture but you get a idea how large the leaves are.

If you want more, let me know. I have tons of pink and some white, but not the cool maroon one that datdog has. You have some wonderful plants I'd love to trade for -- but I'm guessing datdog will be able to meet your needs~!

Don't laugh.... Size 8 1/2 foot.

Look to the right bottom of the pot you can see the begonia with the fuzzy red back the foliage is darker.

Kristi,

I'm sold on all. I never even knew that there was a hardy begonia until a few days ago. I'd like to fill a bed with the white and pink. So feel free to pick as many of my begonias to match your available trades. I like the way you combined the begonias into your landscaping. I'm assuming they are in full sun.

At least your toe nails are painted. I think toes should be polished at all times. LOL!

Let me know what you can offer.

happy_macomb,

I would be happy to trade for the pink and white begonias with you also. Just let me know what you can offer and what you are interested in. I love big trades. The bed I am filling is not new. Its currently filled with brugmansias so I want to put these begonias all around the bed. I shape my brugmansias into a canopy so the bottoms of the beds look empty. I'm tired of wasting money on annuals. I think these begonias will look great in that bed.
