Thanks for this information, I put it in my spring file.  We'uns in this area 
are not mail-ordering anything for a long while.  About the middle of April 
for live growing plants.  Dormant stuff can come a bit earlier.

It is the blue I would like and I do want it in the glass room.  Anything 
special about the seeds you recall?  I will probably order both the plant and 
some seeds.  It is winter blooming here and am told it can be kept going with 
cuttings.  Anything that likes to bloom in the winter under cool conditions 
is welcome here.  Everyone else further south may like this outdoors, it is a 
perennial.

Marilyn, that begonia 'Escargot' thrived in friend's care and a rooted 
cutting, alas,  came back to me.  Somethings you cannot give away however 
hard you try.
