I have albo picta but not the odorata. It gets treated more like a succulent than a begonia and only goes out in summer. It branches, sends up basal canes and blooms prolifically from spring to fall and in winter when I can fit it under the grow lights.

Thanks! does it get very big?

It grows to around 2 feet but then tends to spread and to widen instead of getting much taller. I think it would be a great begonia for you but I'd love to have an odorata too. I get a lot of joy burying my nose in a fragrant bunch of flowers. Anita

I know! I've seen varying reports on its actual fragrance though, which makes me more hesitant about it.

Thanks for the information about the height and spread of albo-picta. That helps me while I am thinking about what to put where and how it would fit overall in the scheme of begonias :)
