Min största begonia kommer som stickling från Ryssland. Ingen vet något om ursprungsland, men enligt mitt Bonniers stora Bo med blommor borde den kunna vara en Begonia manicáta från Mexico.
My most spectacular begonia came as a cutting from Russia many years ago. Nobody knew its real origin. According to my big flower dictionary – Bonniers stora Bo med blommor (Live with flowers) the plant might be a Begonia manicáta from Mexico.
This is a leaf seen from under – filled with tiny spikes.

I don’t know but I have a feeling that this challenge has made you a lot more playful with your camera? Brilliant work on this one.
…your feelings might be correct…?
Awesome clarity in this close-up! Ann-Christine you have an unbelievable green thumb.
…and it’s not in the photo…!
A … a BEGONIA ? You sure ? [M-R ducks as A-C throws shoe]
