Subject: [CHAT] Pig's ear
Here's a link to a couple of pictures of the "pig's ear" begonia. No
idea of its species name. Google did not find anything for either
"pig's ear" or "hog's ear" begonia. The leaf, which is difficult to see
entirely, is that common snail-curl shape, about 6-inches wide, smooth
with fluted edges, and dark reddish-purple, which might be considered
black by some. This is the first time it's bloomed in the 5 or 6 years
I've had it. Quite a display, I think.
