This is a pitch for a begonia that
is seldom seen or mentioned in the
literature. Yet it is a beauty, easy
to grow , and easy to reproduce. A
cane, its flowers although large are
not produced in the overwhelming
masses of the more popular canes. This
is a modest beauty; it does not shout,
"See me!"
