Little Miss Mummey

Fannie

A lot of folks say they are the same thing. Most experts agree that 'Little Miss Mummey' was the original and therefore is the true name (a Brad Thompson creation). Some vendors/people will change the name to make more sales or they forgot what the original name was and give it a new one. This is one that will probably be argued over forever but is not the only begonia that has taken on different names.

Thank you HC. I did read a past post I believe from you mentioning you had a Good n Plenty that was just limping along and I don't see it readily for sale the way it was from Logees years ago. Any final verdict?

I don't even remember Good N Plenty now. I probably lost it a long time ago. Too many begonias that do well to worry about losses.

A few pictures 3 days ago as I went out to pick up blown over plants and tip water out of clogged pots after the remnants of Sally blew through with over 5 inches of rain.

Several canes

can't remember

Virginia Jens and two pots of Philodendron gloriosum

more canes and other begonias

parviflora is a giant in its native land but isn't too shabby in the backyard of Atlanta

one of the pots blown over has two different seedlings I grew from a seed pod collected from maculata in 2009

One of the paths lined on both sides with houseplants. The brugmansias are in the ground where the tallest one is almost ten feet tall.

Wow so lush. Glad they made it through the storm OK.
