A Favor To Ask

13 years ago

I just received two Angel Wing begonias that I purchased on E-bay, and I'm hoping someone here can identify them. If you go to the begonia page on E-bay, they're listed by Topiary Art Works & Greenhouses in Clearwater, Kansas and described as: "Angel Wing Begonia-two 6" pot fully grown-pink." The picture that accompanies the listing is 100% accurate. They're *enormous* plants...dark green with silver spots and clusters of red flowers. I've never bought any plants online that can compare with the quality of these. Any help in identifying them will be appreciated. (The Fed-Ex shipping is no more than some people charge for USPS, and not a single leaf was damaged!)

Oops! There IS no begonia "page" on e-Bay. BUT...if you do a search for "begonias" under Home and Garden, you'll find this offered for sale on e-Bay. Someone whom I consider to be an expert on this forum tells me it may very well be 'Corallina de Lucerna' or 'Lucerna'. That's what I thought, but I'm certainly no expert. Just wanted to let y'all know that these are incredible plants in case any of you are interested in purchasing. And no...I don't get a cut! (VBG) I just get the satisfaction of being an enabler.
