    @sal73 - if you went to Harrys' link then the Begonia would have been a big plant. I've been there a few times, ordered on the net a couple of times too and totally swear by them. For example, most plants that I've had are second year plants requiring a one metre box for mail order. P&P is not cheap, but is the best that I've come across.
