I have it growing under a verandah @Kaila I have several special begonias I bought from a grower in Queensland ,and yes its in a pot ...NO I sorry you can’t have one cause I live here a long along way from youGorgeous begonia, @Kadee46 !
Is it outdoors or indoors?
Is it in a container?
Is it in shade?
I love it; could you give me a cutting?
OK you’ve talked me into dropping in for a cuppa and chat ..send me your address and I’ll be thereBeautiful and interesting! @Kadee46
I do love begonias, and they do not need full sun, like so many nice plants do.
Of those 2, I like both, but am more intrigued by the first one;
that is, if you changed your mind about bringing me one, but only have room for one, in the car.
plant in hand in about an hour

Oh, thank you! And the post gave me a big smile and brought welcome laughter to my face.
But now, @RadishRose might want you to drop by her, also, since she is only 3 or 4 States away from me....so again, not far out of your way.
I must make a space for the plant on my plant table, right now!

Something I have never before seen-
I’ve never see that before @RadishRose
I must go take a photo of my newest plant @Kaila a you might want a cutting of that as well
there seems to be a “must have” of Variegated monsteras plants at any cost at the moment with some paying up to $3.000 for a single cutting of a slightly different version with more white on it the leaves than the one I bought , mind you they are getting big money
for the one I have as well
I watched a YouTube on the subject of the variegated monstera and the lady was saying the more expensive ones that people are paying thousands for are just a freak of nature and will eventually turn to plain green where the one I bought has The variegation breed into it.
LOOK at this tiny cutting on eBay ...that’s the one that is more likely to turn green then It will be worth maybe $20......$30

This is my Variegated Thai consultation version of the plant called a Monstera ,sometimes called a Swiss cheese plant.
The ones that look the same but bring big money are called Albo as in photo above .....I’m happy to settle for the cheaper version I know will always be variegated...and not turn to plain green after a while

WOW Kadee! I've ever heard of a variegated Monstera before.
I had a regular one and it became huge; had to stake it yet, it still grew out into the room and up.
When I bought my condo, I had to give it away. I had no room for it

@RadishRose if you want to look at the crazy prices people are paying ...just put variegated monstera into eBay search tool
I had a plain green one years ago in Adelaide it got so big I could have built a tree house in it

It’s just staring to get a little warmer here as we get closer to spring .
I thought I’d lost this begonia but a new shoot has popped up ..
Most of my begonias are known as rhizomatous ( some think they are Rex ) but they are not Rex
as Rex die down in Winter but mine don‘t
This one is a cane begonia I l love the variegated leaves of this one
This one can grow up to 6 ft tall
