- Description
- The Garden, v. 36 1889 WINTER-FLOWERING BEGONIAS. In common with the tuberous-rooted section of Begonias that flower during the summer months, those that bloom throughout the autumn and winter have within the last few years become far more popular than hitherto, and some of our most prominent hybridists have devoted their attention to the production of new varieties. Among the older winter-flowering Begonias may be mentioned several of the original species and hybrids raised therefrom, most of which are of a shrubby character, while recently the curious peltate leaved B. socotrana and some of the tuberous-rooted class have been successfully employed in the production of the newer hybrids. Of varieties not springing from either of these two just mentioned and of original species valuable for their winter blooming qualities may be especially mentioned. B. corallina - This is widely removed from either of the preceding, being a tall-growing, woody-stemmed species, with the undersides of the leaves purple, and bearing long pendent racemes of bright coral-red blossoms. It may be induced to flower at almost any season of the year, and is a very distinct and beautiful species.; My plant is distinctly different from coccinea and macduffieana - M. Watson
