Bonita Shea is what my hubby keep trying to find last year b/c Shea is my nickname. We had no luck though

I bought a huge basket of 'Bonita Shea' at Lowe's or Home Depot last year. It didn't make it through winter in the basement under lights but I did have a small cutting that is doing fine this year.

A lot of begonia experts say 'Bonita Shea' is actually Manaus or U002 but I do think it is a larger version of Manaus. I think 'Bonita Shea' comes out of University of Georgia of all places.

UGA 'Bonita Shea'

Here was my big 'Bonita Shea' from last year:
