Does anyone know names of any of these?

This one makes a great hanging basket.

This one gets about 4' tall every year. Very leggy and drops lower leaves unless I cut it back often.

This one looks a lot like a green-leaf wax begonia, and grows like one, but has double flowers.

And last but certainly not least--this is a beauty I received at a swap.

Hi Pbtxlady,

Begonias have a lot of look alikes so it's hard to tell exactly what some are unless they are really unique.

I will make a stab at some of the ones you posted:

1) Could be 'Concord' or 'Maribel Pink Shades' (perhaps they are the same thing).

2) Close to 'Sophie Cecile' but again there are so many that similar.

3) Double blooming wax begonia (semperflorens) - maybe 'Lady Francis'

4) Looks a lot like the oldie but goodie angel wing 'Lucerna'

Yeah, I know that there are many cultivars and it's very hard to ID them. Just hoping! I'll take a look at some of those and see if they match. Thanks!
