Plant #2

Plant # 3

Plant # 4

Plant # 5

Plant # 6
This was my first begonia. it's growing back from overwatering. I'm guessing this is a cane variety? one of the stems with 1 leaf fell behind the old pot and grew on the ground. I'm planning to repot this one in a more shallow or smaller pot with better potting medium. This is just garden soil and it seems too heavy and slow draining.
This had coral-colored flowers. I hope I'm able to revive this.

1, 2 & 3 are Begonia Rex cultivars, number 4 is "Begonia Muddy Waters" , number 5 not so sure , but I like it lol ( can I have some lol)
number 6 , if it's flowers turn out to be red it is Begonia 'Thurstonii', but if its pink could be Begonia 'Tom Ment' or Begonia "Texas Tea Slipper" ...I'm not a botanist though, so I can't be entirely sure...I'm just a hobbyist from the Philippines who collect Begonias lol

#4 is not Muddy Waters; #5 is some cultivar of listada, very close to Magdalene Madsen; #6 is not Thurstonii nor Tom Ment - it is a common garden variety.

#4 looks like Muddy Waters to me.

Here is a link that might be useful: muddy waters

I have seen #4 before (may have had one at one time) but it is not Muddy Waters and I am at a loss for a name right now. M.W. has large leaves with some frills on the edges plus is more brown than black.

Here is a photo of my old Muddy Waters.

Also look at this one at Logee's (according to Logee's write up Susie's Curl is the spitting image of Muddy Waters)

Well now, I've got a plant just like #4 labeled Muddy Waters. I've never seen another one. And I have a Susie's Curl that's way greener. Why we love begonias.

The one I showed above was bought at Harmony Foliage with Mr. Begonia (last year's ABS president) telling me the names as I was labeling everything. What can I say? I just go with the flow...

That seems to be the problem with names in begonias (and everything else) - someone drops a tag and sticks it in another pot or you can't read someone's writing or everything is labeled rex begonia. If only someone would come out with a definitive book on (fill in the blanks here)

Check out the international database of begonias for Muddy Waters. Ignore the 3rd photo since it is the one I just posted above.

Hi! May I know where in Metro Manila I can get Begonias?

Have you searched Planet Begonia on FB for Philippines begonia collectors? I'm sure there must be someone there that can yelp you.
