Begonias on the wiki

Hi,

I raved earlier about the Begonia boliviensis which has been brightening
our summer fog. I added a picture of the attractive seed pod to the wiki.
Ernie told me this species could tolerate our Pacific northwest winter wet
even when dormant.

Yesterday the UPS man was lingering looking at the tuberous begonia making
an amazing display in my lath house. He thought it was so beautiful. This
was in the packet at the IBS meeting in Pasadena a number of years ago.
It's my sole survivor from my packet, but I agree it is really beautiful.
Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens has a wonderful display of tuberous
begonias every year. Is there any interest in seeing any of these on the wiki?

Mary Sue: I'd very much like to see pics of the Mendocino Coast Bot.
Gard. tuberous begonias. Just getting one grown from seed close to
bloom in a greenhouse here in Davis.
