B. 'Mary Bucholtz'

One of my favorite photographers got photographed herself by Johanna Zinn at the Palm Beach Board Meeting this year and she was holding her namesake B. 'Mary Bucholtz'. Paul Lowe named this rhizomatous hybrid, a cross of B. 'Green Giant' x 'Lowe Star' for her.

Mary Bucholtz is well known to all Begonian readers for her outstanding photographs and to all National Directors because she is Branch Relations Chair and editor of the Branch Relations Newsletter. Her contributions to ABS as both writer and photographer resulted in her receiving the Eva Kenworthy Gray award in 1999.

Mary resides in Jacksonville, Florida and in addition to the begonias she loves, her home is filled with begonia collectibles. Her fabulous majolica has been displayed in ABS slide shows.
