Angel wing begonia

I'm looking for a specific variety name, but thank you!

You want a cultivar name?? Good luck - there are bazillions of them!!

Here's a page with some pictures and associated cultivar names. Clicking on the names produces some basic descriptive information.

Looks like 'Corallina de Lucerna', most folks call it Lucerna for short.

You nailed it. I knew somebody would recognize it. Thank you very much!

I wouldn't be quite so hasty. There are a goodly number of cultivars with almost identical appearance - Ruby Tuesday, Peach Parfait, Tom Ment, My Special Angel, just to name a few.

Do the leaves have a red reverse?

Photo and description from the site I linked to above, which says it is the common angelwing begonia.

One thing I would think about is if the flowers of yours fit the bill.

Well fudge! My last post did not go - guess the photos screwed it up.

It is NOT 'Tom Ment' or 'My Special Angel'. The other two mentions are probably not that well known or distributed but I could be wrong. 'Tom Ment' and 'Fabulous Tom' are small canes and 'My Special Angel' is a medium sized cane with a unique shoulder.

Lucerna is a wonderful pass along cane. My wife got a cutting of it from her co-workers nearly 45 years ago and we only knew it as "angel wing begonia" for probably 25 to 30 years until the internet and a PC were affordable. I still have it but it is a cutting of a cutting of a cutting...

I cut it and start it over every few years. It can easily get over six feet tall if you let it.

I bought 'Purple Haze' down in Orlando that looks very similar but cannot find it on line so it may be a local ID or maybe Lucerna in disguise.

The other possibility is 'Coral Sea' but all pictures I've seen of it shows it to be quite the bloomer.

Okay I am going to try to add a picture at a time since that post went.

This is Lucerna grown by a wonderful grower from Miami. This was at the begonia convention at WPB in 2009. I believe it was nearly six feet tall.

Okay that went so here is a second photo of Lucerna at a wholesale grower in the Orlando area. This is the mother plant that they cut to get all their new starts from. I do not know the cane on the left.
