flowering Begonia

21 years ago

I am not a regular here, and I don't know the name of this variety, nor to I keep many begonias (wish I could just don't have a good place for them)((lot's of sun and wind)) no protected area. Anyways just thought I'd post this pict here for you all to check out. I know this is a very common beg, and the flower is hardly impressive, just thought I'd post the pict anyways.

I think I grow one that is similar - are the leaves leathery with a satin finish on them? Mine is blooming right now as well. I really like the colour contrast on yours.

Wow, it has beautiful contrast in the leaves! The flowers are really nice, too, but I especially love the foliage. It's certainly not a common Begonia around here- I've never seen it before.
