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.

Wanted: Begonia ricinifolia

10 years ago

I've been searching for this plant or someone willing to send me some cuttings for several years.

My mom had a massive one & unfortunately, I don't know where it went after her passing. Had an extremely hard time identifying it. She always called it an "elephant ear" begonia. Thanks to google image search, I was able to find photos of it, some here on gardenweb, but it's being listed with different names: Begonia ricinifolia (rhizomateaux), Begonia "Immense".

Anyone willing to part with some cuttings & pointers on cultivating?

Willing to pay.
