Sacha,
I brought several Begonias over for the nursery to try:

'Little Brother Montgomery' - Maple like, silvered leaves pinkish when
young, ageing to silver and maroon.
'Connee Boswell' - Large, maple-like silver-pink leaves. larger than LBM
'Benitochiba' - Interestingly divided, metallic, silvery purple leaves
and pewter veins.
grandis 'Sapporo' - Coppery red young growths, taller than grandis
proper and coppery leaf undersides.

The other plant our friends brought us is Galvezia speciosa. Looking it
up it's from California and it seems very pretty. Our specimen looks a
bit sad and droopy at present, so I hope it survives!
