I purchased this day at the supermarket and I think it may be Sinbad but I'm not sure

    Yes, that definitely looks like Sinbad. It is a Great Summer Grower. Not so hot in winter - best to keep it almost semi-dormant in winter or buy a new one the following year.

    Thanks Rosaline. I did go check out your FB pattern. Nice wrap there and I hope it goes well for you!

    I am presently in FL ready to buy a truckload of begonias tomorrow. Came down on Sunday and stopped at another grower's house around Gainesville to see his landscape begonias (must be nice to plant in the ground?) His place looks like a tropical paradise with six acres of things we grow as houseplants. Even walked through a patch of Swedish Ivy just like a groundcover...

    I wanted to go to PHOE today but alas it looks like they closed down and are moving to a new location that won't be ready for months; looking at their FB page. Then I thought I would go to the American Orchid Society Garden close to West Palm Beach and they are permanently closed. GRRR! So I went to Lowe's, Home Depot, and Walmart instead near Sanford (where I am staying). Lowe's did have the nicest selection of plants of the three stores and I bought two plants there. Not a whole lot in begonias at any of them though. Another GRRR!

    You can never have enough begonias. Sometimes you find them we least expect It. The only thing I found at locally was bossa nova red and and a red Dragon wing Begonia they were both at the local greenhouses in Grand Junction . An hour away from where I live . Lowe's Grand Junction doesn't have anything like you're talking about . Unless, you're talking about a kind I don't buy . I found a really nice rose it a greenhouse in Grand Junction today so I brought it home it's called memorial day and it smells heavenly. I got to smell it all the way home and I cut the blooms off and I got here and put them in a vase .

    Memorial Day hybrid tea Rose.

    Thanks for looking at my wrap it really is a neat pattern I didn't know if anyone of your relatives might be interested in making it. But it really is nice for people that are in wheelchairs or victims of stroke it really turned out to be an option that they can put off and on themselves and it works well for other folks,too. I wear mine a lot .

    Hope you have a fun trip home .
