Ming,

Sounds like someone else is out scouring the streets for deals. Sorry to hear about your 'Art Hodes'. Anything I should know about it?

Ah that is a nice, big 'Art Hodes'! What a score! I love the magenta colored hair on the leaves, it really shows up in your pics.

Hi All,

I only dabble in Begonias, but have this one & just love it. I grow in on side of west window, in hanging basket w/ pebble tray under the plant's pot in the basket. It's a great & vigorous grower, cuttings root quickly in water & leaves will also root from cut leaf wedges. I just love this plant. It's also especially pretty from underneath against afternoon sunlight. I find it quite easy (tho' a thirsty plant) & gets some leaves bigger than my hand.

I encourage all to try this, most rewarding & I've never even seen it flower!
