Picked up a plant at Hughenden Manor NT garden, obviously supplied by the
gardeners and unlabelled, and as I suspected it is Begonia southerlandii.
So far I haven't been able to find out much about this plant and it's
growing requirements so do any of you grow it or know of it?
I've also noticed that in the axis of the leave stalks little bulbils seem
to have grown, can this plant be propagated from those as with enough
plants it would make the most superb hanging basket for a N facing wall.

Obviously a bit late to be planting this outside but next spring if it goes
in the ground its a reliable spreader.
