@tarev, cane begonias come in many varieties and I want every one of them!! They do well in my Zone 9a heat as long as they are in the shade and kept moist in well-drained soil. Though they seem to flower more with some morning sun or bright shade. But when you find one as stunning as you did, the foliage sometimes out-shows the flower. I protect them by bringing them indoors in the winter. They prefer the greenhouse over my home. They pout as they longingly look out the window. They propagate fast so cuttings from a friend are gold.
