Cane Begonia


Cane Begonia
Begonia 'Orange Rubra'
(be-GON-yuh)

We have a large collection of Begonias at work. Over the years they have multiplied and gotten big. There are a few over 6 feet tall now and using the largest pots that we have. This little orange one is new to the collection and I love the color contrast between the flowers and green foliage. Obviously we keep the Begonias indoors during the winter and they provide a seemingly endless array of flowers to cheer up the greenhouse. They are always ready to go outside in the spring and don’t seem to have any problems transitioning to the outdoor lifestyle.

While the flower is beautiful, the spotted leaves are stand out as very different. Happy New Year!
