This is a large leaf begonia. The leaves are gray/green velvet texture with small white hairs. Very pretty, it is growing under my trees and very easy to grow.

Episcia Raspberry Patch. I also purchased this one on etsy. It has dark brown leaves with a burgundy center. Blooms red flowers, very pretty.
Episcia Jim’ Specialty. I puchased this one on etsy it is suppose to have dotted flowers but it mostly bloomed pink with a yellow throat with a few pink dots close to the throat of the flower. Maybe it will bloom with more pink dots when it blooms more.

I use to have Chocolate Soldier a few years ago and I lost it. So I purchased another one from two different places. Some how it doesn’t look the same to me. The Chocolate soldier I had didn’t have any pink on it. May be its the light it gets? Any way here are a few pictures.

This begonia is a tall growing cane begonia and needs to be pinched back or it will grow tall and leggy. I believe I purchased this one at the SWBGT in San Antonio. It Blooms pink flowers and has large bronze leaves splashed with silver spots.
This Angel Wing Begonia blooms pink flowers and has medium green leaves with silver/white spots. It looks like it will be a compact grower.
