Re: ID Help

Thanks, Auralie, you sent me in the right direction. I think it's B. carolinifolia.

Jim, I'm not a begonia specialist any more - that phase of my life was some 30
years ago - but from my old reference books I would think you have a
Begonia macdougalii. The other begonia with that leaf pattern is
B. luxurians, but in my illustration those leaflets appear narrower and
more folded. I'm sure someone else will be more up-to-date.

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.
