The Pacific Bulb Society page has several species. Do you know which nurseries or who to contact acquire them? I am most interested in ones in Eupetalum (e.g., /B. veitchii/, etc.) and Knesebeckia (i.e., /B.// falciloba/).While I am not working with American Begonia Society, but am with Ornamental Germplasm Center at The Ohio State University. I did make crosses of /B. grandis/ with a few tuberous species this year and would like to try to cross with others that I currently do not have.
