Yep! Begonias can get SUPER extremely cool. They’re one of my favorites and there are about 800 kinds…

Rex Begonias are usuallyyy sold as annuals in spring to go in shade combination planters. At my old greenhouse job, the only weird begonias I’d seen were Escargot Rex begonias

And also Pegasus/Gryphon begonias

Rex Begonias and other rhizomatous begonias are usually the most awesome and varied foliage wise. Here’s my others:

Also… Begonia luxurians

And Iron Cross Begonias are cool

And also, my mom has hardy begonias which are super cool. They’re hardy to zone 6.

But yeah… begonias

Begonias are really cool. Some species are really, really cool, like Begonia ferox and locii.

B. ferox and B. PAVONINA! are two big reasons I’d like to try a large terrarium one day!

Jesus, I hadn’t seen pictures of Begonia ferox and just….

it’s so goth I’m crying
