Of course the wax begonias have white flowers, but this is the first time I've seen white on a tree begonia - lovely.

Yes, provably there isn't any other tree-type of begonia with greenish white flowers. One of nersery men said this was raised by Hiroshima Botanical Garden first in the world.

We can get the two varieties in Japan. The one is 'Begonia semperflorens' with white, red or pink flowers, and with dark brownish leaves. The another is 'Riegers begonia' with white, red, orange, yellow or pink flowers, and with green leaves. The both names are common name.
