I grew some rex begonias summer before last.....not very successfully.

For years I despised the large flowered hybrids but now I rather like their buxom blowsiness. How tastes change.
Happy snow today.
Anyway, it's a beautiful and dainty flower, no matter what its name.
I hope your Monday is as perfect as this begonia, Joey!
Maybe they require more water than I am giving them, leaves brown and die off. Another challenge!

Exactly why i choose these beauties, dearest Edith. The foliage is a perfect compliment to my other holiday plants. I am also fond of buxom blowsiness of tuberous begonias, especially in containers.
Thanks Kanak ~ how kind!
Even though only a dusting, I'm not ready for the blustery winter weather, Lindalou. Plus we are heading UP NORTH to the cottage today where they are expecting more snow. And I worry about my poor daughter on crutches who broke her leg on Thanksgiving :(
You are so clever, dear Marysol :) Thanks for the wish ... I could use a perfect day!
Hum, Eileen. We shall see with these ... should be interesting. It's been some time since I've adopted a begonia as a houseplant.
Thank you, Carolyn. I must visit Ficurina and check out her post.

I like that, Esther! I sometimes get bored and enjoy tweaking :)
And that is exactly what this plant is about, Rose ... foliage ... and why I purchased it.
Yippee I'm back in the land of Blggers, my friend.
Thanks, sweet Clare. The foliage is handsome and suits my fancy :) The tiny hidden flower is quietly awesome and why I wanted to focus on what might be overlooked.
