Chopping time.

Begonia paulensis. Sadly this species can't be propped from leaf, only rhizome cuttings or growing from seed work. However the leaves are so big when you prop the rhizome you still need to remove the big ones.

Been super busy here is a new Begonia hybrid I've been working on.

Begonia dregei 'Tweedle Dee' x Maculata. I've done this hybrid a few times now but this version holds the white edges on the leaves.

Bonus frog on the last picture. #begonia

Been trying to see just how big I could get this caudex on one of my hybrids. I didn't check it for a bit and a new branch came out.

Really weird leaf mutation. Part Leaf - Part Flower. #begonia

A neat fuzzy miniature Begonia species from Lang Son, Vietnam.

Reminds me of Begonia variegata if the leaves just never matured.

I love this, Begonia pellioniodes. A shrub like species from the China/Vietnam border. #begonia

Begonia mariachristinae is finally blooming. The female flowers are pretty odd looking for a cane/shrub like species of Begonia.

I think this is the biggest I've seen Begonia dregei "Malmo" get.

Begonia masoniana x sp. Ngoc Lac

Looks like a form of masoniana but has the trailing trait of sp. Ngoc Lac.

Still trying to think of a name for this one.. #begonia

Begonia maynensis. A shrub species from Ecuador and Peru.

I've had another var of this species before but it was always very difficult for me to grow. This one seems much easier. #begonia

Begonia hymenopylla an adorable micro tuberous species from Thailand. They are finally blooming again, and I’m hoping to get some seeds this time.

(Finger for scale ok the last photo just to show how small it really is)

My big pot of Begonia bullatifolia I've been growing the past couple years. #begonia

Begonia lubbersii. Another cane like species from Brazil. Unfortunately it does lose its dots as it matures but the leaf shape is very cool. #Begonia
