I have two begonias in my garden which I don't know the name of and hope that one of you experts will help me ID them.
This is a rhizomatous begonia:

Beautyful!! In what part of the world can you grow begonias in your garden all year around?

South Florida!
I'm in Central Florida and have had luck with some as well. But I dont have anything that looks as nice or as lush as these. Any chance for a trade?

I have one that looks like the top photo but the leaves are darker and very fuzzy. It's a small plant but has survived 2 winters in the ground.

Yes, I'm in South Florida. I started out with two of the larger begonias about 6 years ago and they have spread very nicely. I've only had the shrub begonia for about a year . I saw one at Fairchild Gardens in Miami that was an impressive bush and hope mine makes it to that size.

Kate, I sent you an e-mail.
