My other favourite plant family, begonias! Mine are the rhyzomatous type, they don't grow so much as other types do and, in my opinion, have the prettiest leaves. I'm waiting for some new shelves I ordered, the old ones couldn't stand the weight of the clay pots... and sorry for the poor quality of the photos, I'm still not familiarized with the DC...

Absolutely gorgeous! The kingiana looks like a turtle shell! Very delecate spotting. What is that spiral shaped one to the left right above the red leaves?

That's a Begonia rex hybrid, very appropriately named L'Escargot...
