Thanks Delonix. Yes this Begonia is a staple in my garden and always has been. It's a perfect plant for those dark corners.
I also have a large stand of Song of India and the plant seen here is a cutting taken from the stand. I'm keeping this one small and will be taking many more cuttings from it.

That’s so funny! I planted one about the same size as your plant 3 weeks ago, and I’m going to keep it around 2 ft (62 cm) and compact. I saw on a Florida gardening show how beautiful they look as very small shrubs.

They do absolutely look fabulous as a small shrub and that's what I'm hoping I can do with this cutting in this particular corner of my shadehouse garden.
I'm now at that place in my gardening journey where I'm taking cuttings from plants I already have but trying to do something a little different to the original.

Sounds great! I know that feeling of wanting to change the norm in the garden.

Looks great! It’s one of the easiest begonias to grow.
I like your Dracaena ‘Song of India’, also. I have a very large one in my front yard which I’ve propagated many plants from over the years.
