Re: ID Help

I'm jealous too. The shape of the plant looks very similar to a voodoo lily. I've never seen a begonia like that.

The orchid leaves look like an Oncidium to me. What do you think? That's the best I can do on that. There are so many cultivars and hybrids. BUT, I bet if you check the Carter and Holmes website you could come close to identifying it. Or better yet send them the picture.

It's a begonia in a hanging basket that I got at a nursery that's going
out of business. No name; only "begonia." It has a bloom spike, but the
flowers aren't open yet. Anyone have any ideas? The leaf is about 16
inches across.
