| This is a curly leaved begonia with ruffled edges. The edges look thorny but they are not. It has a small very light pink bloom on a long hot pink scape. Slow grower, and when it's in more light, the leaves take on a slightly reddish tinge as is common with begonias.It looks a lot like the picture "Essie Hunt" or "oliver twist". anyway I hadn't seen it bloom before and thought you might be able to id it better for me. It origanally came from Walmart a few years ago. |

| Hi Sandy, It sounds like 'Bunchii' aka lettuce leaf begonia. Here is a picture of mine. Is this it?
