My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Searching For 'Rose Bud Begonia'

19 years ago

I have had (operative word being had) a begonia that my grandmother called a Rose Bud Begonia. It is not tuberous, it is a rooted begonia that can be easily started from "slips". I have shared this plant many times over many years and it thrived until it suddenly slumped and died this winter. I can't find anything close to it and nobody recognizes the name Rose Bud Begonia. It is rooted, wax leafed (green that turns bronze red when set outside in summer) with multitudes of flowers that are nearly pure white in winter and turn to a candy pink in summer while outside. The flowers are so double/triple that they are nearly round like a pom-pom. I have no pictures and really, really want another plant. Does anybody know what I am describing?? The real name for it??? Where I can buy seed or a plant??

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

JAN
