| When I first saw it at my local greenhouse, I thought, "Hmm, huge big leaves, unimpressive colors," and passed it up. Then, I kept thinking about its sweet, unassuming name, and went back for it.
I absolutely love its gentle coloring now, and the peaceful way it unfurls hairy new leaves here and there for me to find. It's a beautiful plant.

| I second you on this one! Mine took a long time to get started but once it did, it became a real beauty. An underrated begonia IMHO. Linda |

| I potted mine up in a terracotta pot that I painted citrus green. It actually compliments the guy, bringing out his hints of lime green. =) |

Would you post a photo? I'd love to see it.
Thanks,

| I've always loved my Cowardly Lion. And he's so forgiving, too. If he doesn't get water like he should, he doesn't just curl up and die like some do. And no brown edges on leaves because he was forgotton either! |
