There are uncountable Rex varieties with the same pattern. I hope you find out which it is. Probably you should get your plant lady to look a little deeper for more info. on the plants she sales. I have many that are unnamed in my collection, but I'm sure somewhere has the same plant with a name.

Hey Mike,
Do you happen to work for SCUSD and know a Daisy who works
in a rock garden?

Here's a great site that has a lovely picture gallery of named begonias. Rex, Rhizotomous and Cane begonias are all together, sorted by name, but as they load pretty quickly, you may be able to "browse" your way through. There are, obviously, many that aren't pictured here, but you may get a bit closer to an actual ID. Also, there are sometimes hybrids that are the results of a cross that produces a highly desirable trait, which becomes a named cultivar, while the seedling siblings are not quite as distinctive, or show slightly different traits. Sometimes these are then sold off without any nametag, as "mutts". I have several mutts, myself.

This is the website of the Astro branch (Texas) of the American Begonia Society. In the main menu area, you'll see a link to "Begonia Pictures". This will bring you to the wonderful album of pictures. This is the largest collection of begonia pictures that I know of. But if you still can't find yours, check out Palm Hammock Orchid Estates, a retail site that also had a ton of begonia pictures. If you're on dial-up, though, it takes a long, long time to load, so plan on going and fixing a snack while the list of begonias loads, LOL!

hope this helps!

This is great! I love Garden web. do you guys know anything about Begonia books? I have seen plenty on begonia flowers but I'm really a rex begonia collector. So far I only have 3 but they are so beautiful!
Thanks!
