Oh to be a begonia!
Sigh!!
Each leaf stage is a miracle in beauty!
Well maybe not of beauty, but of incredible entertainment value.
Then again, maybe of beauty!
KELL, Unbelievable!! What is its name? I want one.
I bet you have it, Butch. In fact I think you picked up a little one. Or maybe it was Marci. Is this a good hint?
The leaves get huge.
If you don't, I can start you one or even might be able to find one in a 6 inch pot. Suddenly, every nursery I have been going to has lots of neat begonias.
A newer leaf, down under.
I have had so much fun with this one. So photogenic. So entertaining.
Kell, I have some pebbly leafed ones but nothing with that color. Maybe Marci did pick one up.
Here is my lasagna mix - chloroneura, barsalouxiae (U434), and a couple different canes. Now I need some pink leaved ones (besides rexes). Sigh.
Well, I guess the picture didn't go through.
Hi Butch!! GOOD MORNING Or maybe good afternoon!
WOW what a great collage of great begonia leaves. I love them all. LOL
Sadly, the leaves on this one get greener and greener as they mature. They also get huge. This leaf is so big, and it has lobed out on one side. It is U201.
If you want it let me know.
Hey Butch, I saw this begonia the other day. A huge pot and all I could see was the beautiful back of the leaves they turned up so much. I couldn't figure out if it was Ramirez and just was so dry the leaves were all turned up but I must say it looked happy and not dehydrated. Know the name. It was cool in a way, so much red color. I am such a gaud girl.
I love those hairy leaved ones too, Kell. So that one was U201. I don't think I've seen it before. Where did you get it? The one I have that is similar is valida but it appears green all over.
This one is so PINK with the new growth but starts a deep rich reddish brown that is so bumpy. LOL. Then it gets pinkish cream dotted and then slowly reverts to green but even the green has some great rich burnishing on the edges of the leaves. I got it at a regular nursery here. I saw it again the other day at a nursery but it was too expensive. They wanted $22 for a 6 inch pot. I have been gorging on nurseries for days now. I can't stay home it seems to clean.
