New begonias!!

I just love this begonia. Reminds me of an old lady for some reason. I just love the wrinkled center.

I do not know the name.

It has a great red reverse.

I got this one too . I will just kill it but for $3.98 I had to get it. Miami Storm.

Kell, I think that is B. goegoensis. Mine lost all its leaves this winter until I put it under a humidity dome.

Kell,
Here is a pic I took in Australia of B. goegoensis.
There is a wonderful begonia garden in Sydney.

Kell,

There is also a similar B. called B phutoensis.

Thanks Butch! I hope it does not need humidity all the time. Times like this I wish I lived in Florida.

Oh Mike your picture is just great. So that is from Sydney. How cool is that! Lali girl, another road trip! Lets see your B. phutoensis to compare, Lali.
