Re: Hardiness of Begonia grandis 'Alba'?

Begonia sinensis is as reliable as grandis.  I could have given you some
since I have been pulling them up and composting them for years.  They
spread as prolifically as grandis.  I have tried other clones  as well as
alba with no success at all.  I grew sinensis from seed about ten years ago
so I know that if I could get seeds from some of the other clones I could
grow them.  Once you have grandis though it is hard to know what you are
pulling up.  I had a fall crocus with a good bloom still in bloom up till
Christmas.  If my AIBO robot could only pull weeds.  I got my original
Grandis from Kay Boydston at Fernwood in Michigan in the 70's (?)
