Did you get the name from the Thompson book on begonias? It gives just the information you have, but no picture. I think we have a bad habit of 'out with the old' which makes it very hard to find many begonias just because they've been around awhile; sometimes they really are superceded by varieties that are more beautiful or easier to grow, but I think not necessarily. I have not seen it offered, but I find it's very hard to find a lot of very worthy begonias, young and old. Good hunting! You might try the American Begonia Society, perhaps the horticulture correspondant.

I actually got the information from an online database which I am sure got it from the Thompson book. I don't have the Thompson book...just a couple of rex begonias that I just got and am now coddling. I will check the American Begonia Society. Thanks.
