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…

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!

Angel Wing Begonia Tia Maria
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.
This begonia blooms sprays of white flowers. The leaves are light green with lots of white spots. It is growing in my back yard underneath the trees.
Angel Wing Begonia Southern Spirit
This begonia blooms peach/orange flowers. The leaves are light green with white spots. I purchased this one in Dallas at one of the Southwest begonia get togethers. Very pretty flowers and easy to grow.

What an unusual flower! I was told the flower of this cactus attracted flies! The flower also stinks! Smells like something died. But if you can tolerate the smell it is a gorgeous flower! As you can see in this picture the flies love it!
Star Fish Cactus
Episcia Karlyn is one of the old heirloom varities. It blooms orange/peach flowers with a yellow throat. The leaves are a brown/bronze color with light cream veins. I purchased this one in the late 70’s.

Angel Wing Begonia Maurice Amy
Maurice Amy is a mallet type Angel Wing begonia as you can see in the picture it has purple/mauve leaves with lots of purple/mauve spots. I Water this begonia when the soil is almost dry. Bring inside in the winter; grow it outside on a patio or under the trees in the spring and summer. I fertilize every time I water and every once in a while I use plain water
