Bougie, There are plenty of places to get most of the ones you list above. Some you might find locally - check from spring until fall at local nurseries (especially the ones that carry begonias) and the big box stores - you never know if and when a shipment might come in with a few begonias. I've picked begonias up at Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowe's. My local Ace Hardware was one of the best places I ever picked up begonias but they went out of business twice now (different owners). I cited several mail order places in another thread on this forum. My recent purchases were from Accents for Home and Garden, Taylor Greenhouses, and Logees. Prices vary but if only one vendor carries the plant you want then you can either pass it by or pay up. Most plants will be on the small side when buying mail order so treat your new plants like babies when you get them until they get some size on them. Come to a convention if you can manage. It is an expensive way to get plants when you add in transportation, lodging, meals, registration but it can be fun and you will have a ton of begonias to choose from at very reasonable prices (cheap prices really). This year's convention is at the end of this month and is in West Palm Beach, FL. It sounds like there will be over 100 different varieties to choose from plus one trip is to Palm Hammock Orchid Estates which is a regular smorgasbord for begonias.

I'm pretty sure it is not "Little Miss Mummy" or "Mummey" because i have one. The underleaves are a translucent red/green, but the tops are opaque black. Dainty silver dots arrange themselves in cobbled rows on the crinkly leaves. The silver spots have an ever-so-slight pinkish hue instead of a seriously pink hue like the one in your photos. The spots are far less dense that the ones in your picture too. Registered as "Little Miss Mummey" ABS R#979, cane Hybrid (Jumbo Jet x Amelia), bred by Brad Thompson in CA 1992. He named it after a friend whose maiden name was "Mummey" though the hybrid is often misspelled "Little Miss Mummy."

Thank you for the great advice! Yes, the container size was too large to begin with. I justified it to myself because it has great drainage & I usually use a water meter prior to watering. My objective last year was to give it lots of room to grow & to prevent it from becoming top heavy as it did. That being said, I am guilty of over-watering about three weeks ago. The leaves were looking dry and brown & beginning to fall, so I didn't use the meter. I now realize that it was exhibiting symptoms of the PM rather than being thirsty! I most likely added to the existing problem when I made that mistake. So I'm holding off with water until I see what happens. The meter is reading a consistent 6/10 in all areas now. As far as the origin of the PM, I have no clue. I started misting the leaves between watering the plant this summer. Also, I rearranged furniture this summer and the begonia was moved a couple feet, which resulted in reduced sunshine exposure. Maybe the combo??? I'm a fresh air kinda person, so as it has been getting cooler I still leave windows open. From here through the winter, the room it's in will stay within from 55-72 degrees. Humidity will vary, so I'll try to be vigilant at times that it is extremely high or low. So far the milk hasn't had a bad effect. I'm 24 hours in since the first treatment. There is noticeably less PM, but this could be from being sprayed in general. The sprayer creates a generous amount of fine mist. Who knew that the milk was controlling pH?! What a great concept & such an interesting story about the colonial discovery. :) Thanks for sharing! One of the larger leaves fell off today. I then removed the last large leaf once I read your replies. None of the remaining leaves look like they're affected right now. One new leaf has started to open today, which gives me a glimmer of hope!! Lost 2 leaves, but gained 1...for a grand total of 13 lucky leaves on a nearly 4 foot tall begonia. What abuse I've caused. :( I sprayed again today, about 3 ounces total at a 10% solution. Made sure I coated every square inch of canes and leaves....and also sprayed the top of the soil. My plan now is to monitor it daily. I'll use a low dose of a balanced 10-10-10 next time I'm able to water. If things start going downhill, I'll up my game. Hairspray?!! Who knew? I literally LOL with your story. That'll be my second line of defense if it comes to it. I'm left wondering what else I need to be doing????..... Do I need to plan to repot this begonia if it makes a come back??... Any other thoughts or suggestions are highly welcome!!! I have grown to love this plant over most of my others (and I have soooo many plants around my home)!

Howdy Janeth, Your Angel Wing will look a lot better if you trim it back so it can bush out later on. Take the trimmings, remove most of the leaves and insert in wet sand or water and they should root easily at this time of year. It's a good time to fetrtilize the plant too. I usually take just a tblspoon of ammonia, in a halfgallon of water and douse the soil when I put the plants out. That supplies the Nitrogen they need for new growth. My potting soil is about half compost so it has most of the other nutrients the plant needs in the pots. Strong
