Begonia ‘angel Wing’

What is the plant

Cane-type begonias are some of the world's best performing and easiest begonias to grow. They are second only to wax begonias in their ease of culture, and second to none in their beauty. By far the best-known cane-type begonias are the angel wing begonias, which grow on upright stems with interesting leaves and magnificent displays of a pendant and drooping flowers. The dragon wing begonia, another beauty, also belongs in this category. In terms of culture, these are not particularly difficult to grow and can thrive indoors, providing you meet a few basic requirements.
