These bagonia forms are beautiful Robert. I especially like the one with green leaves and red stem. The green leaves just brings out the red colour on the stems.

ken, some growing near your house? go take a pic and show, could be an interesting peninsular species, unless it was the common wax begonia.

Amelie, i propagate them from leaves to try out, still a young plant. You want, but must wait

David, the red stems were unusual and attractive, which compensate for the dull green.

Fuh...Nice begonias.I love them.Had many last time.Wondering how to take care of this begonias?Mr.Robert any tips?I killed most my begonias.Left 6 type of plants.They sensitive to the chemicals or neem mix which im using.The leaves will dry up.To many pests coming and eating the leaves.Can i use fertiliser for the plant?The once i bought come will moss + perlite.Using fertiliser roots the moss faster and this kills the tuber.
