Another beautiful pink/mauve leaved episcia. I just love the episcias with the quilted mauve leaves; they are so much easier to grow then the other pink episcias like cleopatra, pink brocade etc… Below is a picture of Ruby Red Dress a must have episcia.
Below is a samll starter of Ruby Red Dress growing in a solo cup.
The name of this episcia is Silver Skies it has silver tiny leaves and it is considered a miniature episcia. It is so cute and so easy to grow. Don’t let the picture fool you. This episcia can grow into a very large plant!

Looking Glass has cane type stems. The leaves are very large like an Angel Wing begonia and it grows very tall. Looking Glass also looks like it could be a Rex begonia because of the bright silver leaf and deep green center. But it couldn’t be a Rex begonia because it tolerates the extreme heat here in Texas!
I purchased this Angel Wing Begonia in San Antonio in May 2012 at the Southwest Begonia Get together. I have many white blooming Angel Wing Begonias but I had to have this one because it is called Tia Maria. That is my Aunts name; Maria. She use to love to come over and look at my begonias and episcias. She couldn’t grow house plants, but with my help she grew beautiful Begonias and episcias on her patio. She is no longer with us and I miss her very much.
