Description
American homes and gardens. New York V. 6 1909 Jan.-Dec. http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/130750 One of the newer begonias is Templinii. The accompanying illustrations, from a photograph of a plant in my greenhouse, give a very good idea of the habit of the plant, but leaves the beauty of the plant to be imagined. Its foliage is large, sharply pointed and very freely produced. The ground color of the leaf is a dark, shining green. This is splashed, blotched and spotted with clear yellow in most fantastic fashion. No two leaves are ever alike. In some, yellow is the predominating color in others, green is most in evidence, but nearly all show combinations of the two colors in about equal parts. This begonia is of strong, robust growth, and makes a splendid plant for the decoration of a large window in a few months. It is really quite as lovely as any of the Rex family, and far easier to grow well.
