Shadegardener said:I grow hardy begonias here and the leaf shape and flower presentation isn't quite right. Leaves on the B. grandis are longer and more pointed on the ends. Flowers are pendulous from longer stems. The photo sure looks like a wax begonia, annuals that I plant every year.
Shadegardener said:I've planted the annual begonias for a few years now ever since impatiens have been suffering from their fungal disease. Have never had any self-sow so maybe it's a rare, fortunate thing.
purpleinopp said:Wax Begonias often live through winter here. Over the years, I've had several forms or variations of wax Begonias, and I've never known what the difference was, just that I can tell/see they're not identical - in height, leaf shape. They're a confusing bunch. There's a patch in my Mom's yard that's been there for about 6-7 years.
