and here's the first time I ever saw Rex Begonia Vine (Cissus discolor). We saw it growing near the entry to Kanapaha Gardens in Florida and I knew I HAD to have it! Whistling

Looking at all the photos I've got from past collections makes me sad but I think I can supply plenty of eye candy for you begonia lovers! Rolling my eyes.

Barb, lets see if this worked. I hope you don't mind, but I resized your picture bigger so everyone can see it better. If it doesn't at least we tried Smiling Love your plant house...all your plants look very happy. On my screen the picture is bigger.

Such lovely begonias that are shown. I had to take mine to work where there is sunlight and I can take better care of them.

Julie, you've got some beauties there! Thumbs up B. masoniana is one I've never had any luck with. I lost B. listada a few years ago - it was about 5 years old and was HUGE!

Thumb of 2011-08-19/rcn48/ccb3ac

I grabbed a few photos of some of the newer ones on the deck yesterday but again running out of time this morning.

Alan, this one's for you. Smiling The "new" Rex Begonia Vine. My camera fogged up from the humidity but you can see it's quite happy here by the front door. Big Grin I was thinking about the fact that these are so hard to find. Oddly enough, my first one came from a garden center in Ohio and my DH bought this one in Michigan. That area seems to have the monopoly on these beauties!

jeepers, Debbie - that one behind the Norfolk pine is enormous and beautiful! I'm hoping my new cane Rex which I JUST got will be that tall - I've seen them 6' tall (my Dad used to grow one - beautiful cascades of pink flowers...)
