We have these in the nurseries around here and they are beautiful but the
large ones die on me. But the Angle Wing Begonia is doing well. I don't
know much about them, I understand they can get quite tall, I don't know
exactly what that means.

My neighbor gave me a start of this plant last fall and it is doing really
well. It started flowering a week or so ago and is just beautiful.


I love begonias too, I have some red tuberous ones that I inherited from
my Mother when she died in '93 and she had grown them for years. Also
bought some expensive large flowered ones from Blackmore & Langdon Ltd
which have huge flowers.

I know there is a nursery in the USA that sells their plants. :-)

My cane begonias grow 3 feet high and sometime more.
