Source for Begonia grandis?

I keep getting interrupted and haven't been able to do a very complete search, and didn't find a good source for B. grandis itself, but Plant Delights nursery and Heronswood both have B. 'Heronswood Pirouette', which is on my list of 'gotta-haves'. Google will give you quite a list, mostly as far as my search went before I had to go of botanical gardens and such where you can see pictures that will make you want it more. There are several other forms too. Another source you might like to check out are the exchange forums.

Why would someone want this? Here is what I read @ wikipedia: "Regarded as very invasive and on the Hawaii State Noxious Weed List, ivy gourd can grow up to four inches per day. It grows in dense blankets, shading other plants from sunlight and high-jacking nutrients, effectively killing vegetation underneath.[3] Native to tropical Africa and Asia, it was introduced to Hawaii as a backyard food crop. It is sometimes tolerated along garden fences and other outdoor features because of its attractive white flowers. It has escaped to become a vigorous pest in Hawaii, Florida, Australia, and Texas. "

I think my problem was in my cold basement where I kept all the other Asclepiads. I think this one requires a more warmer environment. Try adding some 'Super Phosphate' to the potting soil or inject some with a stick into the root ball. Just a teaspoon. I add this to all my plants when I re-pot them now and that's what triggered my Clivia to bloom for the first time in the 10 plus years I owed it. I also add a little Alfalfa to the mix also. I'm glad some one can grow this one so well.

hi, my name is jeff and i am interested in your begonia seeds. i have no seeds to offer but i do have a small powder blue agave cactus pup that could function as an indoor plant in the fall and winter. i also have a clumping bunny ear cactus plant that can stay outdoors before the cold weather arrives and can serve as an indoor plant when the spring season arrives. very little attention is needed for either plant aside from an occasional light watering from time to time in the spring and summer.jeff
