Begonia grandis subsp evansiana - 2020

We went down to -10C here that winter, although it's usually only -5C for me

A lovely dainty flower the shade of pink goes winderful against thst colour foilage

Yes, I've had mine for many moons. This year I've had to restrict its exuberance, once it got going, that is, it is alway very late into grow.

Yes, it's one of those plants that gets you worried as it's so late into growth. Did your Red Gurkha finally show up? Mine was disappointing, with only a couple of flowers, but has now started flowering again - I've never known it do that before

that is one for me to put on my wants list. very pretty.

Thanks for inquiring about Red Gurka. It had one flower stem earlier. It seemed stress in the heat but then quadrupled its stems and has flowered superbly. Two years since I bought, I think.

Sbg - there's also a white-flowered version. It's in heavier shade as it's only just coming into bud, but I hope to post a photo of it soon

We have the white one......which is coming up all over the place!
