I'd wed a begonia

That's how fascinating I'm discovering the begonia family, Begoniaceae to be. And I'm referring only to the leaves; have not gone into more complex areas of flowers, cross-pollination.

It's caused my mum to exclaim in wonder, and for the very first time, how clever her 'old adult' child is. Just from seeing the plantlets grow out of a leaf petiole. Despite my best efforts explaining that's how some begonia plants propagate, she continues to insist. After all, I'm the only the person she knows who can simply stick a leaf into a pot and get new plants that way!

Way to go Begonia Rex! Really I couldn't ask for more.
