Begonia "Escargot", Gardening Scotland 2008

This is truly unique & I love the colours in the leaf!

I have a heuchera with that swirl at the leafstem... wonderful looking leaf that silver is as close as you'll get, isn't it? beautiful thing.

Beautiful plant. I have this variety - but 2 plants have suffered from Thrips this year, they seem to worse this year for some reason.

Really have to get more begonias, so many lovely varieties.

A heuchera like this, Lori? I really like heucheras, and plan to have quite a few next year. Mark, I didn't know that begonias are prone to attack by thrips, thanx for this warning. Gillian, aren't begonias just great? And they have such brilliant names, too.

I posted a pic of the heuchera leaf, David.( 4th page second pic.)It has the swirl at the stem. take a look...I was amazed too. Photo captioned Palace Purple.

Got it! See reply under your pic. Many thnax, Lori! X
