Turns out I have taken individual shots of my begonia collection. Not all of them but I can add the others later.
Again names are drawn from Alvin's Journal at greengates.wordpress.com. Thanks Alvin, hope you're still at your begonia craze especially since it's so much easier, with Malaysia being the natural terrain for begonias.
