Leaves – The begonia does have a pulmonaria look about it.
Tinky – Thanks for the appreciation.
Lisa and Frances – I think I have always been afraid of too much for the begonia sun and over reacted; and I know I am not consistent in my fertilizing. I will attend to both.

Hi Pat, it is lovely. I agree with Lisa, more sun and maybe some fertilizer, sea kelp, etc.

This is one of my favorite begoinias Pat. A little more sunshine might encourage it to bloom. Some compost tea??

I am not used to seeing these angel wings begonias – so when I first looked at your pic I thought it was a new type of pulmonaria lol I must make some enquiries to see where I can source some of these begonias.

Pam – You’re right. Polka dots are as good as blooms any day. Thanks for inventing Foliage Followup.
Noel – They are content – and not very demanding.

With those incredible polka-dotted leaves, I don’t know that you even need blooms, Pat. Wow, they’re great!

Thanks for participating in Foliage Follow-Up!
