Help with IDs, please?

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

Hi there! I'm currently putting together a trade list and really want to get reliable IDs on what I've got so everyone is happy. Can I get some help? I'd like to preemptively apologize for my poor ability to ID begonias. I'm much more a succulent and cactus person, but I'm trying to catch up with begonias. They've been so rewarding and bullet proof.

#1 This guy is tuberous. The undersides of the leaves are red.

Clockwise from top left, all canes: Corallina de Lucerna/ Sophie Cecile?, Looking Glass, Sinbad? These are cuttings rooting in water.

#5

Thanks much!

#1 is B. 'Erythrophylla' better known as Beefsteak. Not tuberous but rhizomatous.

#2 does indeed look like 'Sophie Cecile', 'Looking Glass', and not sure about 'Sinbad' - maybe 'Don Miller' More photos will help

#3 looks like 'Corallina de Lucerna'' better known as simply 'Lucerna'
