I purchased a small start of this begonia at a spring Amish yard sale.

Can anyone ID the variety or name?

Hi Don,

Your lovely plant is a Begonia but I don't know which variety.

Sorry, Don't know. I thought maybe a Rex but I thought Rex had larger flowers like roses?? Some have Bulbs and others grow with just roots like the bedding begonias sold in spring time. I was never good at growing bulb type. I heard they needed a rest period.

Is that pink or white? I have only one good eye and it looks like a pale pink to me. It is a cutie. I grew up in the Amish Country of Lancaster County, Pa.

I have three different colors and one is pink. It is Tea Rose

The flower is


That is much too pink to be yours. Sorry, thought I may have found a match.
