Can anyone direct me to a mail order source of Begonia Bellfire.?
I know its the wrong time of year. I want it for this spring.
Thank You
Begonia Bellfire
looks like http://www.gardenharvestsupply.com/product/begonia-bellfire-plant Garden Harvest will have it in January.
(though I'm guessing it's going to be dormant in January. Tubers don't normally start sprouting until spring)
Here's their watchdog page http://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/c/5032/
Have you considered other boliviensis than Bellfire? I was at a nursery show and they displayed a number of boliviensis Proven Winners that were being introduced this year. I contacted a local greenhouse and split 2 trays - one of Mandalay Flamingo and one of Bellagio Blush (84 plants total - I'm going to have some large baskets). You could check with local nurseries that carry the Proven Winners and see if they have ordered any of the Bellagio or Mandalay series. Here's a link to some pictures:
