| Beautiful begonia, and more and better bloom than I usually get on rhizomatous begonias! Sorry I don't recognize it. Have you tried the website of the American Begonia Society, and the Houston Astro Branch linked to it? They have lots and lots of begonia pictures (but I haven't been able to identify a couple of mine I'm sure must be on there!) Hate getting them without names. If you find it, would you post back please? |

| I'm going to try. Thanks. I think it's a rhizomatous begonia, but native of New-Caledonia. Difficult to recognize because the New-Caledonia flore has an unusual diversity. Thanks for your reply and sorry for my english. I'm french. |

| Your English is at least 100% better than my French! No problem to understand at all. |

| I should have said, yes, it is rhizomatous. I spent quite a (lovely) time last night on the begonia society website and at HiMark's site looking at dark-leaved rhizomatous begonias but couldn't find yours. Quite a few descriptions without pictures it could have been too. It would be easier for you I think since you would know things like leaf size for the begonia key at the ABS site. Good luck! Sure is pretty. |

So many thanks for research. I'll continue mine and tell you the name if I find. But in fact, I have no choice, I have to find.I'm the webmaster of a french house plants site and I have to reply to my correspondents. Thanks

| Greetings Marc, your begonia looks a lot like 'Joe Hayden' to me. I have 'Joe Hayden' and it does bloom very profusely.

| Thank you for answer. It is true that your begonia Joe Hayden looks like mine a little but what is the color of flowers ? And are the floral poles are pink and largely exceed foliage? |
