Blackmoor & Langdon's stand- double tuberous Begonia
John Smith (a fragrant Begonia)
Comments on this photo
This is on B&L's stand. I did buy one last season, and have been trying to build the stock up a bit. This is one of the new fragrant ones, as the double tuberous Begonias don't usually have a fragrance.

Yes I've had begonias for a while but never ever seen one that was fragrant - just wonderful!

This is one of Blackmoor & Langdon's own, one of the exhibition standard named varieties. But i have recently noticed Thompson & Morgan have been advertising fragrant Begonias. I don't know if theirs are of B&L's standard.
The problem i have had with T&M, on more than one occassion, it that they send varieties with the wrong labels that has happened with both Fuchsias and Begonias. I have vowed never to use them again, because of this. I need correctly labeled plants for showing, and expect them to be correct even for plants i don't intend to show.

Totally understandable - mis-labelling seems to be becoming more common unfortunately.
