I picked up a rex begonia last winter at a local craft market. There was one room with a few plants and I took pity on it and gave it a good home-and a clay pot.
It is the variety type that has a snail shell spiral pattern on rounded leaves. It is my first rex begonia. It is doing very well here.

Good choice on the clay pot; Begonias like to dry out between watering.

‘Pegasus’ is in an old Guy Wolff pot. He’s very happy there. :)

Same goes for my geraniums and my long-lived Christmas Cactus, Miss Peach. :)
