AHHHH I can’t tell you how often I look at the Withlacoochie (did I spell that right?) online and dream of getting one. Yours is stunning.

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-03-11

I had to look it up again lol... Withlacoochee. I got that one from Steve's Leaves. They have Live auctions on PalmStreet. I won it for $135! But I couldn't pass it up again.

Sounds like it’s from somewhere in Tennessee!

I’m obsessed with bipinnatifida rn

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-03-11

I don't have that one yet, it's also a really pretty one. I get overwhelmed in the begonia section 😆 there's so many types

### pixeylover73 commented on 2025-03-11

Ooh 😮 . Your begonias are gorgeous. That Withlacoochie is on my plant wish list. What is that last one? The colors are pretty. And yes so many begonias very overwhelming

That one's Begonia midnight sun

I have four and want more. It amazes me that they don’t look as if they could be real, but I say the same of my succulents. The one I have had trouble with is the maculata. Looked amazing for several months and then started dropping leaves. Never did figure out what I was doing wrong.

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-03-12

I have some sub cultivar of a maculata, it was my first begonia, and I've almost unalived it several times, and it was just a stick for awhile. I now have it in my west window and mist it every few days, and its doing shockingly well. Growning leaves and getting taller.

#### K replied on 2025-03-12

I’ve found they (maculata, not all begonia) handle drying out a lot better than conventional wisdom suggests. I pretty much treat them like I would an aroid and they do really well in room humidity and medium light

#### Michelle’s Hobby replied on 2025-04-15

Picture please. Looks e to see what the plant looks like.

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-05-06

This one, you can see the older leaves had some damage, when the "potential analiving" happened lol. but its doubled in size now.
