What a plant!!!!! This tender Begonia has to be one of my favourites. Looking almost like a bonsai tree its swollen 'trunk' and small leaves are just perfectly in proportion. Easy and reliable this is a must for all house plant lovers. Lost my first one in the 'beast from the east' but a very lovely lady (who I had given one to before) gave me it back.... lesson to be learned here!
