Actually, I do have a question. I have not taken any leaf to put down as a back-up for this lovely plant. I was thinking that since this is a starter plant there is not much to take yet anyway.

Would any of these leaves work to be put down?
Aren't they all too young to do the job?

These leaves will work just as well as any others. Hopefully you have the plant isolated from your others, and you can take one leaf and put it down and keep it with the plant. It looks like you have enough to be able to take one leaf. BTW, can you post a photo over on the Gallery side of this forum? It would be great if we can keep up the Gallery with photos of our named varieties! I think sometimes people forget it's there.

Very nice, Begonia.

That you got it to bloom says that you're doing a lot of things right.

Keep on doing what you're doing ... and enjoy your plants.

So glad you posted the picture. I have leaves I got from LL put down and can't wait for mine to make plants.

Aegis,

Actually, when the flower arrived those buds were already existing, so I am having a hard time taking the credit for these pretty blooms. The trick will be to see what the plant does after this wave of blooms (produced by LL) is over. :-)

Perle de Or,

If you manage to bring it into bloom, you will enjoy this plant. It only takes one or two blooms to make the plant look really beautiful. It is quite unique because of the size of blooms. I am not sure how resilient and long-lived it is over the long term, but is certainly is eye candy.
Good luck with growing it! :-)
