Added a "Cathedral" begonia to my collection. 😍 Have zero recollection of where I first saw or heard about these begonias, but I remember it being love at first sight! They're so unique and gorgeous, and their leaves look like stained glass (hence the name lol). Was able to find a seller, and it arrived yesterday!

Side note: pulled the last pic from the National Gardening Association's site to show what it'll look like when it matures. ☺️

Wow! Love it’s potential! Good luck with it!🪴🥳

Thank you! I’m so in awe with its beauty. It's hard to tell in the pics, but the undersides kinda look like peeling paint. The red has these cracked, lifted sections with green underneath.

How interesting! Enjoy!!!

### jlsKenzy commented on 2026-06-20

Gorgeous! It's so unique looking.

#### abitofbrit replied on 2026-06-20

Super unique! I have so many begonias and I can honestly say that this one truly has a style of its own!

#### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-06-20

I’m really considering finding one with that cool spiral pattern they can get…🪴😉

#### abitofbrit replied on 2026-06-20

You should! But I’ll warn you that begonias are addictive. Once you see how cool they are, you’ll want to collect them all! 🤪

#### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-06-20

I’m in trouble then! I can’t go to Walmart for anything without walking out with a new plant buddy! lol 😂 🪴

#### abitofbrit replied on 2026-06-20

Lol I know the feeling! 😆

### Laura commented on 2026-06-20

I love it! I’m all about begonias right now!!

#### abitofbrit replied on 2026-06-21

They’re all so different! Definitely my fave type of plant! ☺️
