Wow!!! I've never seen one of those!! I love it! I want one!!!

Wow! The photo looks like navy blue and white? Is that right? Where did you find that beauty?

thats fantastic, a living fractal!

You absolutely win the award for the most nicely grown Escargot. I think this begonia is one of the temperamental ones. Thanks for sharing the beautiful picture!

That is absolutely Beautiful! Please may I have a nice rooted cutting? LOL Well really I did check your list and I might have something that you want, I have Ky Wonder Fig trees that I would love to made a trade with you. The Ky Wonder is the hardiest Fig Tree of them all! I also have Jack in the Pulpit
bulbs... Check my list and see if I can tempt you with anything..... Thanks

WOW!!!!!! I might get one for Christmas, according to my 9 yo grandson!

I've past that one up a few times. Never again. They always have one at the Philadelphia Flower Show at the houseplant vendors. They better have one this year.

I got mine! Actually, my family misunderstood and bought me for Christmas "bougainvillea Touch Glow". I don't know how that sounds like "begonia Escargot" [non-plant people :-)]. Yesterday, I returned the bougainvillea and bought Escargot and I am a happy camper. Now, how does one propagate to make more?

That's why I try to buy my own Christmas presents!
Merry Christmas!

They have Escargot at the Phil. Flower Show this year but a larger size. It was too much to carry around so I passed.

Hi,THAT is on my most wanted list.
It is gorgous. I've not been able to find a place that has these.
Did you get it from a local place?
TIA,
Linda

Well, I finally picked one up a year later. The NY Botanical Garden had a few small plants in their shop yesterday. Hopefully, I can get it to look something like Datdog's this summer.

If this is your one and only Begonia, my only suggestion would be: GET MORE!!!! You are doing something right! Even in show-plants, you hardly ever find one that is this well grown! Congratulations!!!

Wow, do you still have this beauty? I see this is a very old thread.

This was posted on my Facebook this morning. It is absolutely beautiful. I googled it and I am now on the waiting list for it at White Flower Farm...hope I am able to buy one this spring. I love your garden.....saw it on your profile.....any advice for growing this beautiful begonia?
