@hc mcdole thank you so much for all of the information and the wonderful pictures! Yes, he got them from Kroger! I was shocked as they are nothing like the typical plants I always see there so I went the next day to see what else may be there that he decided to pass over and there was a huge red and green maranta that stopped me in my tracks! It was splayed out in the center of the table and taking most of the space- so other plants were around....and on it. I would have taken it home then but would have needed more space so planed to return after my son's karate class.....well we know how this story goes! It was of course GONE and I was heartbroken yada yada lol but back to the ones my husband did get- the begonia was BEAUTIFUL day one and two as you can see from the pic.....but by the 3rd 4th day before I finally had time to repot it this weeked) it started declining rapidly. I think it was in too went soil for too long. The very tips started to fold down then the leaves started to get darker and soggy looking then crispy one by one. There are a few large leaves that still are darkened like this about halfway, but the smaller leaves were just crispy and barely hanging on. The roots were....okay as far as I could tell during the repot, Im just not sure if it will bounce back from this or not. Im hoping so its a beautiful plant. Would you suggest I do anything in particular?

It is possible (along with dozens of others). The leaf size should be 11x9 but could be smaller in a pot. Could you show a close up of the leaf that is directly behind the leaf in the first pic?

"Maybe it's not planted in the right location?" Always possible :-) Unless a dwarf form, these get a lot bigger than might be expected. But it can be pruned....just that now is not a good time to do so. Wait until late winter or very early next spring. And don't cut back into bare wood.

So instead of just googling I remembered the Hosta Library and went there, and it does seem that either American Halo or Northern Exposure/Halo could be contenders. I just don't remember those names but I guess that doesn't really mean anything! I'll continue to look through my old notes and records and see what I can find. Interestingly, my friend just moved and invited me to take stuff from her garden. Three days ago I took a baby Northern Exposure (literally about two leaves) because I thought the coloring was lovely. Funny if this is what I already have! Thank you so much for all your help! Much appreciated! :) Dee
