    Thanks for showing off 'Lynda Dawn'. It is my hybrid created about 25 years ago and named for my sister.

      Hahaha this is how I felt when I saw it online years ago! Such a wonderful one! 😍✨🌱

    oh also - definitely look up the amphioxus. They look so toxic, like a dart frog. I've got one in terrarium conditions but also one in my regular humid room and both are doing great.

    • @amyadwan

      Yes I’ve heard of it, looks so poisonous 🤣 That’s great and well done - I’ve never picked one up because I assumed it would need higher humidity than I could give!

    I love Begonia Ferox - think you might like that as well if you like the weird ones :D The mature leaves have loads of spikes and when new baby leaves grow they're super cute and fluffy :)

      I have heard of it, it looks insanely cool to me! 😍 Definitely one for the list, and you’re right it’s totally up my street 🤣 thank you ✨

      I love the Ferox too! They’re quite hardy and super easy to grow from leaf cuttings as well.

    Hi Amy. Thanks for sharing your begonias. I may already have mentioned that I managed to kill two masonianas so I’ll be replacing them with something different.There are so many to choose from that it’s difficult to decide. I have one begonia that I can’t identify and it’s hanging from a beam on our patio. I grew it from a couple of leaves that I pinched from a neighbour’s garden and I’ve propagated so many pieces that I think it’s time to add some variety to the family. I need to choose something that stays a bit compact though.

    • @amyadwan
      @amyadwan  Рік тому

      Hello! I’m so sorry to hear about your experience with the masoniana, sometimes the plant just doesn’t suit but you tried twice so gave it a good go! The one on the patio sounds lovely. Maybe some of the rex cultivars, as they stay fairly small, would be a good choice 🥰✨🌱

  • @caldergrey2239
    @caldergrey2239 Рік тому +5

    ...think the begonia you can't identify is Snowcap (which is so called because of the white leaf tips on the spotted leaves). The one you called Snowcap looks like Lucerne (aka Corallina de Lucerne). Love Love Love Black Fang! Enjoy your vids.

      Thank you so much for letting me know, will definitely take a look at these more closely! Really appreciate that, and thanks for watching! 🥰✨🌱

    I love my angel 😇 wing/ cane begonias. I try really hard with the rex type but can’t get it watering right. Maybe self watering pots would be the answer.

    • @amyadwan
      @amyadwan  Рік тому

      They really are so different in their care! I find the Rex types are very vocal with their leaves, so you could check that going forward to see when they need water and see if it helps 🤷🏼‍♀️

      Ah they can be so tricky, it’s also why I don’t have a huge amount in my collection, sometimes they just decide to take a turn! Maybe next time 🤞🏼🌱

  • @michaelkerley452
    @michaelkerley452 Рік тому +2

    I think the leggings of begonias is why they really have never kept my interest. I think they are stunning in other people’s collections, but I just have always lost interest in any I have owned. The history is fascinating but even with that I still just find myself going meh.

    • @amyadwan
      @amyadwan  Рік тому

      I totally get that! There are a few genera out there that are very popular but are just totally not for me. I guess that’s the benefit of having so much choice out there 🤣

      There are timestamps so you could skip to the part you're interested in. Your complaint is nonsense
