I would love to have a name for this begonia I've had for 7 or 8 years.
The silvery dots are raised up on the dark green background. The backs of the leaves are deep maroon.
Can someone name this old favorite
Looks like it could be Cracklin Rosie. But without the bloom its hard to tell. Do you have a pic of the bloom?

Can't say I remember the color of the bloom. Seems like it was a deep pink, but really don't remember. I'll keep an eye out and will keep you posted when I see a bud.
What color should I be looking for if it is 'Cracklin Rosie?' What else could it be? Those spots are really raised up on the background. I thought that would be a real key.
Thanks so much for the prompt reply.

Here is a link to a site with blooms. I don't have a picture of mine in bloom.

You will need to copy and paste that link I think.

Maybe Fannie Moser.

Now I'm overwhelmed. Fannie Moser certainly seems to have the raised dots like mine. Guess I'll just have to wait 'till it blooms to make a final decision. So many, so similar.
Thanks one and all. Audrey
