Healthy Looking Plant
I received my Escargot begonia about 3 days after ordering it, so A+ on quick turn around. Packing was very impressive: well wrapped, covered, secured and cushioned. It would have taken crushing abuse for any damage to have hurt the plants inside: another A+. I've had my Escargot begonia for about three weeks now. I have not transplanted it yet as I haven't decided how I want to plant it yet. I do have it and two other plants from that order in a small terrarium so they are all getting the humidity and light they need. My Escargot's largest leaf started drying up around its edges after the first week here. I think that's probably due to the change in environments. The other leaves are still very healthy looking. I'm very happy with Violet Barn's plants and shipping. A+ = 5 stars.
Really cool begonia
Really cool begonia. Interesting and beautiful pattern!
Very beautiful plant
I found this particularly difficult to grow but the leaves, with the quirky curl, make the plant a definite purchase for every year. No one seems to mention the pink flowers which are really quite strongly fragrant with a nice rose-like scent.
My Very Favorite
I love this plant. It is so unusual and grows so well in my garden window. Before the fire that destroyed our home, I had propagated and split this plant several times. Friends and company were always asking for starts. Now I'm starting over and this is one of the first plants I want to replace.
A keeper
It took me almost 10 years to find this plant after I saw it at the botanical gardens. With a little care, and time it makes a great show specimen. I lost my original plant and had to get another one. Everyone who sees this one wants a cutting.
