Philadelphia Flower Show 2026- Begonias

You know I love begonias. In my dream world I'd have hundreds-all different.

It seemed like there were not as many unusual ones this year, but here are a few. This one is 'Soli Mutata," and it's the only one in this bunch that I have shown from another year. The leaves supposedly change color in the sun- hence the name

Some of them didn't have a variety name. This was just identified as a Begonia Rex. All that means is that it's in the group of plants with over 500 cultivars that all have large fancy leaves.

This one is called 'Snoopy." I'm not sure why.

'Tiger Kitten' is similar to 'Kit Kat' and also another one called 'Little Darling,' so I guess you can't draw conclusions about naming based on something like spots.

This one was large and unidentified, but it took the red ribbon in its group.

And finally, this was only identified as being in the 'Superba' group. But it took the blue ribbon. Not only is it blooming, but the spots on the leaves are pink.

I was up more than I was down today, and I think I'll be good to go tomorrow. And go I must- to the grocery store!
