    Hi All,

    At the garden center today I came across these in a hanging basket for £25!! I asked one of staff what they were, they had no idea. Someone who was also looking at then said they were some kind of begonia, but could not shed any more light. If I can find out what they are I will try and get seeds for next year as I think they are lovely and unusual.
    Does anyone know what they are?

      Hi Gogs,
      " Glowing Embers " has deeper Orange flowers.
