More BEGONIAS for the 2013 SEASON

Here is the second page of wonderful Begonia hybrids and species. The BEGONIAS remain unrivaled as house & conservatory plants, so much so that demand outstripped our ability to keep up with several of the larger hybrids last season! The codes with each entry below help you identify the overall growing habits of our offerings: (c) indicates cane-stalked "Angelwing" types, (rz) is rhizomatous with sturdy surface stems; (semp) abbreviates sempervirens, the "Wax Begonias," while (s) (sh) stands for shrubby branched types; (t-s) indicates trailing or scandent (climbing) growth habits, and (rex) refers to the brilliantly foliaged "Rex Begonias" with their frustrating dormant spells, while (tuberous) refers to the caudiform group (not the florist/garden center winter dormant types). As this diversity can be bewildering if you do not have access to a plant handbook, fuller descriptions can be found in various of the plant books we offer for sale.

Meanwhile, if you'd like to start with some handsome & dependable selections, plunge in and order our BEGONIA COLLECTION as Stock #99004 to bring you some 5 named plants for a mere PRICE: $15.00.

And many of you with more patience would probably like to try the ANGELWING BEGONIA COLLECTION which is drawn from both species and hybrids as listed here as well as selections from our collections not necessarilly currently listed here as Stock #99686 for 5 cane type Begonias @ PRICE: $17.50.

Please advise us whether you prefer Begonias for your conservatory, light garden, windowsill, terrarium, baskets, or outdoor bedding so we can pick those most likely to flourish in your specific situation. Do NOT specify specific names if ordering a collection--the selection changes nearly every week. If you want a specific species or hybrid, order it individually. We hope to bring back various of our old standbys later this season--but haven't we promised this before? Demand has been considerable of late; resultingly, several stock plants need to regrow before entering a propagation cycle once again. A number of new (to us) selections appear below:

56478 BEGONIA HONEYSUCKLE [HYB] BEG TGH HP PRICE: $ 5.75 (c) Impressive clusters of fragrant salmon-pink dangling blossoms; elegant long angel wing leaves angle out on the stout erect cane stems. Achieves impressive dimensions in time. We do not make claims about the scent, believing that subtle scents reside in the nose of the beholder, not the vendor.

56023 BEGONIA IMMENSE [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 (rz) Giant basil green leaves in a heracleifolia outline outthrust on haired petioles anchored on thick surface rhizomes. Not for the timid.

56061 BEGONIA IMPERIALIS BEG HP TERR PRICE: $ 6.00 (rz) "Carpet Begonia." Procumbent stems hold pebbly bronze and silver-streaked leaves; prefers filtered light, cool location to bring out amber tones; modest white winter blossoms. Mexican classic species--this horticultural selection seems more heat tolerant than other collections of this Mexican montane species we have tested. We cannot ship this species to you during warmer parts of the year unless you realize that the foliage will most likely suffer some damage. Remember that the habit is quite wide spreading, thus a more appropriate candidate for the wardian case than for a less wide terrarium.

56292 BEGONIA INTREPID [HYB] [HORT] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.50 (sh caudex) Erect maroon stalks rise from a slowly developing somewhat bulbous base (much larger than the similarly structured 'Little Brother Montgomery') which must not be covered, to present large showy deeply lobed leaves splashed with pewter. Easy: the name reflects its strength although this cultivar seems to be not in the literature, although several collectors have suggested that it might be a silvered selection of or a hybrid of Begonia diadema. The mystery continues.

56377 BEGONIA IRENE NUSS [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.50 (c) Large satiny deep green leaves, oddly cut & reddish beneath nearly overwhelm the short canes; free flowering--coral pink fragrant flowers all summer and fall. Star shaped foliage typically shows a pinkish eye sinus. One of the most reliable of the "Angelwing" tribe.

65342 BEGONIA JOE HAYDEN [HYB] PRICE: $ 4.50 (rz) Very compact glossy deep olive green & mahogany starshaped leaves with ruby red reverse; a reliable Ziesenhene hybrid with pink flowers. LIMITED AVAILABILITY CURRENTLY

56765 BEGONIA JUANITA'S JEWEL [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 (c) Giant bamboo like canes rigidly ranked with large almost glossy olive angelwing leaves freckled silver, perfect with the dangling clusters of red blossoms. Needs elbow room.

56899 BEGONIA KENTWOOD [HYB] BEG TGH PRICE: $ 8.25 (c) Impressive tall stalks support not only silvery frosted deely lobed angelwing leaves, richly rouged beneath, but also pendant large clusters of fragrant pearly pink blossoms fading to white--but considerable patience is demanded to grow this to the maturity needed to bloom. Needs good humidity and adeqate light to perform--more sensitive to chill than most Begonias. May be a propagate-to-order item if demand outstrips availability.

56387 BEGONIA KEN'S KANDY [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 6.00 (rz) A well known hybrid by Ken Frieling at the Glasshouse Works. "Celery Stalk" thick blanched erect petioles flare into double Ionic helixes of wide deep olive leaves nearly entirely netted deep chocolate-sienna; very congested habit typical of many recent 'Hocking Hybrid' series. Although most popular as a basic addition to any terrarium design, 'Ken's Kandy' tolerates less than ideal humidity levels, thus it has remained a very popular windowsill subject. Looks terribly complicated and potentially difficult, but this vigorous tuffett is of easy culture.

56270 BEGONIA LACY [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 6.00 (s, semi-tuberous) Attractive frilled dregii foliage and nearly everblooming white flowers once established and mature. This Frieling hybrid seems to have no real dormant cycle.

56767 BEGONIA LAURIE'S LOVE BEG TGH HP PRICE: $ 6.50 (c) Impressive stalks display richly silver speckled angelwing leaves--the level of silver dot saturation is directly related to light intensity. Easier to establish than most canes.

56019 BEGONIA LAVINIA [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.25 (cacudex shrub) From a swollen rootbase arise rose blushed succulent stems flaunting elongated silvery wing leaves with dark veins. A marvelous strong growing Bill Voss hybrid of B. taiwaniana with a rex cultivar.

56522 BEGONIA LISTADA [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.75 (shrub/cane) Brazilian "Bronze Angelwing" with fibrous roots & arched thick stems ranked with thick oblique pointed waxy yet haired bronze leaves, each with a cream lined center. Possibly its very similar cultivar or hybrid, 'Magadalen Madsen.' Demand can outstrip availability, so please allow time for us to finish this slow growing beauty if you order it.

56368 BEGONIA LITTLE BROTHER MONTGOMERY [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.25 (Caudex Shrub) Stout short trunks present swirled palmate star leaves of silvery toned emerald green veins and edges. Johnson hybrid with pink blossoms over the rex like foliage. Just in case you've neglected this a bit and the foliage fails, never fear for the slightly tuberous base will resprout new stems; conversely, be sure to pot in very easily drained soil in a shallow pot so as to never risk overwatering and thus rotting this tuberous base. As orders often outstrip production, please INQUIRE as to avaiability before ordering.

56717 BEGONIA LITTLE MISS MUMMY [HYB] BEG TGH HP PRICE: $ 10.00 [c] Stout short mascara stippled canes ranked with leavy crinkly leaves dotted silver; carmine to blush cassis underleaf. The Mostest Purplish of any of the short statured canes we offer.

56282 BEGONIA LOIS BURKS [HYB] BEG CGH HP PRICE: $5.25 (c) Much-branched low-grower with lovely angelwing foliage strewn with silver. The very showy shell pink spring blossoms repeat when given ample light. Easy beautiful basket plant; excellent choice for the windowsill.

56148 BEGONIA LOOKING GLASS [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.50 (c)Shiny silver leaves ruffled at margins and veined matte green; reddish beneath. Worley's showiest cane creation--has never been equaled in combining ease of culture with sheer visual impact.

56886 BEGONIA LUXURIANS BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Check with us before ordering this lanky critter. Exotic wheeled leaflets mimic "Palm Leaves"; tall stem. Requirees even humidity and bright light--can be intolerant of high temperatures. Not a good house plant. Can be difficult to grow. Recommended for greenhouses and Key West Patios!

56072 BEGONIA MACULATA WIGHTII [HORT] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 10.00 Called "Clown Begonia" for the large silver spotted bat-winged leaves held sparcely on tall canes; white flowers. Fantastic visually--but needs absolutely perfect drainage and good light saturation. Not for the novice, yet easier than it looks.

56372 BEGONIA MAD HATTER [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 (rz) Furry nacre green and pinkish (colors of 'Sir Percy') leaves wildly furled to reveal their 'Cathedral' crestings; truly marvelous Logee hybrid with white spring flowers. Smaller statured and far more delicate in appearance than 'Cathedral.' Nonetheless of a similar thwarterous appearance.

56082 BEGONIA MAGIC LACE [REX] BEG CGH PRICE: $ 6.75 (rz) Low carpet of beautifully whorled pistachio green leaves highlighted with champagne pewter tones; similar to 'Curly Fascination,' but colors more contrasty, leaf lobes more pointed and far more prostrate. Best grown in a large terrarium.

56090 BEGONIA MARMADUKE [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 6.00 Rounded leaves with rich bronze, emerald and ochre mosaic with rich rusty speckling concentrated at vein junctions, a very dramatic and quite distinctive character reaching considerable stature--often a prize winning impressive specimen at shows.

56077 BEGONIA MASONIANA BEG TERR CGH PRICE: $ 6.50 (rz) Now again available for 2013 . "Iron Cross Begonia" Puckered quilted leaf surface with maroon chocolate central cross--the entire bullate leaf being reddish haired. A New Guinea native prefering terrarium humidity where it will produce its clusters of greenish white haired blossoms; not easily grown as a windowsill subject without pebbletray culture. Never give up if the "Iron Cross" foliage suddenly dries and disappears, random mini-dormancies are the norm (even in the greenhouse)--the succulent surface rhizomes will soon produce a new set of its remarkably beautiful leaves when its environment improves. If you need positive feedback on your prowess as a beginning Begonia grower, this is not a good selection for your first, second or third subject--once your growing skills are honed, try the ever tempting "Iron Cross," otherwise, you might consider yourself as nailed to a very stiff challenge.

56367 BEGONIA MAX GOLD BEG HP TGH PRICE: $5.50 Pert tuffets of cheerful rusty chocolate velour leaves blotched with bright basil green and avacado, brilliant with the deep ruby leaf reverse; topped with arrays of white flowers in late winter.

56216 BEGONIA MIDNIGHT SUN BEG TGH HP PRICE: $ 12.00 (rz sh) Remarkable new wide leaves emerge pink, red beneath, then fade to rich bronze; white flowers. Impressive colored Logee introduction never surpassed in its class. This is slow to propapate, so we have listed this as "Propagate To Order." There may be a delay in shipping at some times during the year as this demanding creature does poorly in warm temperatures.

56306 BEGONIA MIRAGE [HYB] BEG TGH HP PRICE: $ 4.25 (rz) Dappled silver surfaces with pinkish tones highlighted by attractive gray green veins. Vigorous growing habit for such a highly colored hybrid.

56342 BEGONIA MOROCCO [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.75 (trailing/scandent) Big quilted bronze leaves--similar to 'Orococo' as to leaf color, but larger more textured and patterned leaves on heavier more upright succulent stems with a scandent (climbing) habit if given a moss pole. Without support, this beauty will dramatically cascade--and more successfuly than the much larger statured 'Art Hodes.' A magnificant strong choice for the outdoor windowbox for the summer as is strongly statured to easily deal with sun, wind, and rainstorms. (Rather seems--after such a description-- as if we are constantly impressed by this performer?)

56736 BEGONIA MINIPERBA [HYB] [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.50 (c/sh) Closely clustering arched stems of great delicacy; leaves striped and/or stippled white and gray green--sometimes frosted. A graceful modestly statured classic still popular as a pot plant. .

56362 BEGONIA MRS. HASHIMOTO [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.00 (c) Wavy margined cheerful green angelwing leaves on somewhat frail drooping canes; large clusters of shell pink flowers produced during most seasons as long as extended periods of high temperatures are avoided. Frail appearance, but actually a moderately vigorous cane hybrid, among the easiest to bloom.

56714 BEGONIA MULLED MULBERRY [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.00 (sh/rex) Heavy, eventually upward bound stems thickly ranked with waxy deep mulberry/mahogany stained leaves (with an open ramshorn, open helix outline) dramatically pale veined and blushed mulled rum red beneath; pinkish flowers. Seems to appear under random names--probably because as it is such a reliable performer with good visual appeal and thus has been added to various nurseries' production lines with little research into nomenclatue--seems, for exampe, similar to 'Lauderdale Lakes'. Grown in low light its coloration suggests a high toned sleck; in higher light the erubescent tones appear.

56763 BEGONIA NEEDHAM BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.50(rz) Bold rounded leaves with emerging wheel-spoke patterns diffusing as the leaf grows into its considerable girth, still carrying a rose blush beneath. Impressive wide and low bold habit insure the continued popularity of this basic hybrid..

56380 BEGONIA NOKOMIS [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 (c) Beautiful frosted "Angelwing" leaves ornamented with silver; starts producing clusters of dusty pink flowers in spring, and continues as long as cool conditions prevail. Sometimes in short supply. Remember, this a a BIG cane with large deeply lobed foliage with one of the highest brightest saturations of silver dots of any we grow.

56730 BEGONIA ODETHEIANTHA VENEZUELAN FORM BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 (trailing/scandent) Elongated fleshy wing like leaves overlapping on the heavy much divided shrubby {pseudo-cane) stems typically tumbling to present a horizontal or diagonal habit. White winter blossoms in clusters; much thicker and heavier than typical form. Big and bold enough for a specimen hanging basket.

56088 BEGONIA ODORATA ALBA BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 (sh) Sprays of small white fragrant flowers; glossy ovate leaves spaced on a big boned gal of a specimen plant. Needs elbow room to flourish, but the subtle sweet scents are ample payment from this Caribbean shrub (even though it might very well require a seplasiary to detect the scent unless grown in an enclose habitat).

56223 BEGONIA OROCOCO [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.00 (trailing/scandent) Coppery greengold subtlely shimmery leaves, slightly pebbled, edged in rusty brown, soon forming shingled brilliant ovals on cascading stems; a Worley hybrid which defines the perfect basic hanging basket subject, even tolerant of less than ideal conditions. Will always be a favorite indoors where it can become spectacular if allowed to climb (stems rooting all the way) up a moss pole to display the glossy bronzed shingled foliage to great advantage--but also, why not try it as well in your summer windowbox or patio combination urns--most certainly the "spiller" can be a thriller?

56226 BEGONIA PANDORA [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.25 (rz) Glossy deep blackish-green leaves with lacy tan mosaic patterns. Waxy low growing foliage indicates easy house plant culture.

56092 BEGONIA PARILIS BEG HP CGH PRICE: $4.75 (thick-stemmed) "Zig-Zag Begonia." Narrow tanned leaves, with brown tomentum beneath, on heavily branched succulent nodding stems forming eventually an impressive specimen with odd snowball shaped tight flower heads. Eventually forms a tightly clumped arched specimen of considerable charm.

56093 BEGONIA PARTITA BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.50 (tuberous) Finely cut nearly palmate leaves & attractive caudiform base make this compact species a favorite for "Begonia Bonsai." Now more correct as dregii 'Partita.'

56096 BEGONIA PELTATA [INCANA?] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $12.00 (s,c) Succulent rangy tall trunks hold fleshy silver-pelted leaves which become thick and waxy during winter cycle if excess humidity is avoided; clusters of white flowers. Needs bright light and good air movement to succeed. Works well when grown with your succulent collection. This is a long term project.

56894 BEGONIA PEPPERMINT PRINCESS [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 (c) Stout stems bend from clusters of simidouble pink flower clusters perfect with the glossy green angel wing leaves blushed chocolate red beneath. Seriously popular--must have its own facebook page.

56751 BEGONIA PLUM GORGEOUS [HYB] BEG TGH PRICE: $ 5.25 (rz) Rounded cut edged leaves reaching impressive dimensions becoming a showstopper because the dark maroon-cocoa leaves are held at an upright angle emphasizing the sangria red rouged underleaf & petiole. Clusters of pink blossoms late winter. This makes a statement--designers are now quite successfully adding this to summer containers with considerable success as the colors are plum pure and the texture is windproof..

56918 BEGONIA POPENOEI BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.00 (upright rz) Thickly rhizomatous Honduran with elongated bright basil green leaves and clusters of white winter blossoms. Vigorous.

56347 BEGONIA REDDINGTON SHORES [HYB] BEG TGH PRICE: $ 6.50 (rz) Remarkable big & brassy architectural wonder: Rose red fleshy petioles branch to hold a whorl of textured segments of basil green (coppery pumpkin in full sun) shimmery leaflets, each developing a whirlpool form--dramatic heavily textured ramshorns of foliage drama.Clusters of pale winter blossoms. This is a serious commitment. We cannot see any serious difference between this old Florida clone and the wholesalers' new Begonia 'Wineuma.'

56355 BEGONIA REISA'S REWARD (HYB) TERR PRICE: $ 4.25 (rz) Shimmery coppery metalic sheened foliage with tones of deep green blushed rosy umber; dramatic ruby red underleaf revealed by being held high by elongated petioles. Easy; fast; flashy.

56704 BEGONIA RICHMONDENSIS BEG CGH HP PRICE: $ 5.00 (sh) Vigorous bright "Green Holly" shrub with large white to rose tinted flower clusters--perfect in patio containers & large baskets; at home on any windowsill. This can easily also be used as a smaller hanging basket plant.

56237 BEGONIA RICHMONDENSIS PURPUREA BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.50 (sh) Redish-tinged coppery glossy wing-like leaves thick on arching/cascading stems make this a popular hanging basket subject; white to rose flowers. Possibly the least demanding Begonia for the visual punch--equally happy as a houseplant, a stunning greenhouse showoff, or a willing bloomer in any urn or windowbox needing a reddish purple punchup.

56770 BEGONIA RIP'S WRINKLE [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.50 (upright rz) Unmistakably a "subtle giant" with wide rounded fleshy waxy leaves with cloudy surfaces varicolored ochres, olives, and dusky avocado.Can become massive in time and thus quite popular as a landscape subject in the tropics.

56114 BEGONIA SAN MIGUEL [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 18.00 (s) "Elephant Ear Beg." Great furry leaves on succulent stems emerge from "Rattlesnake Skin" bracts. Handsome specimen. Price reflects the extra care demanded in packing this. We will start rooting this when we receive your order.

56760 BEGONIA SELBY'S TRASH [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50(rz) Big hairy leaves with a trace of a heracleifolia pattern and reliable vigor, yet this toss away sports recurved somewhat rounded leaf margins. Foliage tends to arch downward, so perfect in hanging basket. Definitely the "Rescued Rhizome" Begoina!

The following Semperflorens Begonias are always popular! Try as a house plant or always a favorite as as summertime bedding plant. They are often referred to as "Wax Begonias." We try to offer the most interesting types.

56116 BEGONIA SEMPERFLORENS CHARM BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 3.50 (semp) "Sunspot Wax Beg." Creamy yellow mottled waxy glossy leaves a backdrop to the constant soft pink flowers freely produced; try under lights or in outdoor beds. As so many patio and deck container designers ask for this to be included in collections, we decided to list it again!

56725 BEGONIA SEMPERFLORENS KAYLEN [HYB] BEG HH HT CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 (semp)"Hardy Wax Begonia" Appears to be an unusually full statured, dark foliaged "Wax Begonia" with easily produced rose pink (to red) blossoms; but beneath the soil it forms real tubers--has survived short shots of zero degress in Atlanta (of course, the soil was not frozen).We repeat this; we do not guarentee this. I have talked with the person who introduced and registered this plant with the American Begonia Society. We have found out that it was introduced in 1994 (mid nineties). The plant to first introduced by Craig Walker who named the plant after his grand daughter, Kaylen. He says that is it hardy in his area, Chattanooga, Tennessee. He originally distributed it through Allan Armitage.

56359 BEGONIA SEMPERFLORENS LADY FRANCIS BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.75 (semp) The lovely "Double Red Wax Begonia" nearly constantly producing clusters of marble sized flowers against the glossy succulent purple toned foliage. The totally retro Victorian begonia.

56727 BEGONIA SHADOW BOX [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 (upright rz)Impressively statured apple green leaves with darker margins curiously emerge shrimp pink from the thick rhizome. Adept at filling its pot quickly, then it's urn, then its own hanging basket. Showy winter blossoms.

56125 BEGONIA SNOOPY [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 (rz) Very thick surface rhizomes support the dramatically sized quilted leaves of bright yellow ochre, held aloft on thick succulent petioles righly haired. Give this one room. Equally impressive indoors or in your patio containers where its ochre gold coloring is amazing as an upright echo of Ipomea 'Margarite' which cascades in golden chartreuse abundance. We know of no other Begonia of easy culture giving such a bold golden chartreuse statement.

59422 BEGONIA SOLI-MUTATA BEG TGH TERR PRICE: $ 8.50 (rz or trailing/scandent) Very lovely low statured primadonna with very wide rich cinnamon green pebbled (cordate outline with bullate surface) leaves, reddish beneath, accented with pale lime veins. Extremely popular Brazilian with white flowers for designers of wardian cases and large terrariums--and for lite gardeners.

56913 BEGONIA SPRINGFIELD QUEEN [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.50 (rz) Strong upright furled leaves of bright (even brighter than bright) lime green with ash tones and dramatically dark maroon chocolate rims. Great contrast in containers.

56447 BEGONIA STRAWBERRY CREME [HYB] BEG TERR TGH PRICE: $ 5.50 (rz) Compact habit: pinkish toned leaves with rose veins and reddish umber edges. Worley hyb.

56524 BEGONIA SUPER KURL [HYB] BEG CGH HP PRICE: $ 7.75 (rex) Silver pink spiral with emerald edge and radiating line starburst centers, giving a stained glass effect; will take a summer rest if too warm, but less likely to undergo extended dormancy periods than most rex hybrids--nonetheless, a rex and thus a prima dona.

56783 BEGONIA TEEN ANGEL BEG TGH HP PRICE: $ 8.00 (c) Dramatic stalks with ginger green leaves surfaced silver with clusters of winter blossoms. Slow to establish. Seems a bit large for its name--or perhaps teen angels look a bit different nowadays.

56134 BEGONIA THIEMEI [MACDOUGALII PURPUREA] BEG HP PRICE: $ 6.00 (rz) The well known, deservedly popular "Palmleaf Beg." Seven to ten glossy serrated leaflets per petiole; maroon beneath unfurl from a very thick rhizome which sometimes leaves the soil line for the sky. Attractive greenish hued flower clusters upon heavy stalks. Excellent indoor pot plant; recently discovered by designers of summertime shady windowboxes.

56136BEGONIA THURSTONII [HYB] [HORT] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 8.50 (s) Glossy bronzed fleshy leaves, ornately haired, a dusky rich chilli red beneath carried on upright succulent stems; this is the old Easterbrook clone with large shell pink blossoms mid winter with cerise "whiskers." Needs air movement. .

56234 BEGONIA TIGER BROCADE [HYB] BEG CGH HP PRICE: $ 4.25 (rz) Compact, thick-foliaged Frieling hybrid of B. `Tiger Kitten' x `Persian Brocade.' Excellent for windowsill or will spill forth the rusty orange patterned leaves from a hanging basket.

56251 BEGONIA TOM MENT [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.50 (c/ sh) Silver strewn slim leaves, typically ornamented with a silvery tip; small pink flowers slightly toned orange. Somewhat larger statured than the very similar albo-picta.
54059 BEGONIA TORCH [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 (c) Bright red flower (blushed salmon) clusters on stout short stems flanked with thick emerald angelwing leaves revealing red laquered undersides. While a compactly statured Cane, not a true dwarf. We consider this the most dependably performing cane Begonia. Easy to bloom, easy to grow.

56262 BEGONIA TROGLODITE LOVE [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 8.50 (rz) Frieling's hybrid of incana x nelumbifolia; thick crisp glossy apple green leaves open to form large ovals with darker areas along veins highlighting the dramatic scrufty felted surface; flourishes in very exposed places, even full sun. Enjoys a questionable reputation often beyond our resources to produce it! So availability of the Trog can be a bit spotty. Ken really did not originally intend to perpetrate this on the diverse race of begonians--but he was encouraged and fell into temptation.

56722 BEGONIA UKIGUMO [HYB] BEG TGH PRICE: $ 5.50 [rex] Slow growing compact heavy foliage; silvery blushed pink leaves with dark maroon cocoa at center and olive toned splotches along the border. Must hve adequate humidity and evenly indirect light to achieve perfect foliage. Not a houseplant, yet far more evergreen than most of the Rex tribe.

56139 BEGONIA ULMIFOLIA BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 (s) "Elm Leaf Begonia." Haired bright basil green leaves are ornately serrated & shaped like the leaves of an Elm tree then ranked on (tightly clustering) succulent vigorous arching stems tipped with pale flower clusters; strong easy grower.

56260 BEGONIA VALLIDA BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 8.00 (thick stemmed) Quite a bold presence with thick bamboo mimic stalks shingled with bright acid green wide leaves with odd delicately toothed margins and an attractive pattern of veins. Dainty white flowers in considerable numbers mid-winter. Brazilian shrub with considerable presence--we suspect it secretly considers itself to be a tree.

56263 BEGONIA VENEPI BEGONIA VENEPI PRICE: $ 12.00 (s) Wide waxy leaves of heavy substance, felted beneath, on strong short stems forming an impressive specimen. Pink toned blossoms during the spring. A Mickelson hybrid. Develops a russet red tone in high light; perfect basket plant.

56140 BEGONIA VENETIAN RED [HYB] BEG TERR CGH PRICE: $ 10.00 (rex) Small, shimmery crepe-red leaves zoned silver & sage green. Petite enough to fit into a Wardian case planting. More evergreen than most Rex dwarf hybrids if kept in its terrarium.

56265 BEGONIA WASHINGTON STATE [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 (rz) Enormous rhizomes anchor thick russett red petioles which bear impressive outfacing "Poinsettia" starburst leaves of rich amber green with distinctive maroon wedges of color at every vein branching. The Petasites of Begonias!

56518 BEGONIA WHITE FANG [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.00 (sh/c) Dramatically outstretched stems thickly populated with glossy leaves, rose blushed beneath, with big white blossoms produced in open clusters once established. Typically this remains a propagate-to-order item.

65336 BEGONIA WITHLACOOCHEE [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $5.00 [trailing-scandent] Lovely elongated softly pelted rich green leaves, with soft ochre radiating veins. overlap on the cascading stems; white winter flowers most elegant.

56504 BEGONIA ZORRO [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.00 (c) Small statured angel wing with silver dots; shrimp pink blossoms. Charming heirloom with a certain legginess turned to advantage as older canes charmingly cascade.

52054 BILLBERGIA CHER [HYB] BRO HP CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 Jerry Raack's striking hybrid of `Fantasia' with euphemiae rubra: spotted reddish purple tall slim urns with each leathery leaf arched at the very tip; deeply arching long inflorescence with bracts and blossoms of pink, violet and ochre.
