Glen, we need the photo.  The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart. ~ Helen Keller |

I just love the unusual growth habit of that plant as well as the leaves! I've googled and looked at many Begonia's but haven't found anything at all similar. I even thought it might be Pelargonium and googled for those too ... nothing so far matches. Hopefully someone will come along with an ID soon ... I really want to know it's identity!  ~ Eat, Sleep .... Play in the dirt ~ |

| LOL, Janet beat me to it ... I've been googling and googling and finally found 'Cathedral' which I thought looked the closest! https://www.google.com/search?... It is one GORGEOUS begonia and Thank You to our "Super Sleuth" Janet for identifying it! I think I might have to put this beauty on my wish list. ~ Eat, Sleep .... Play in the dirt ~ |

| Got here too late, I could have told you the name as I have had it for years, mine has been in a small pot forever, poor thing, but it sure doesn't mind one bit. It gets morning sun through the window in my dining room and blooms regularly. Sometimes I forget to water it and it gets bone dry, still doesn't care. It's one tough begonia. I need to add some updated photos soon, plus I bet it would be so happy if I repotted it. Stained Glass Begonia (Begonia 'Cathedral') |

Thanks everyone. You are wonderful.  I read somewhere today that 'Cathedral' was introduced into the US, from Australia by Steve Talnadge in the 1960's. "Fiji Islands" is a similar but smaller. |
