I’m trying to track down two Begonias called The Duchess and Baby Douk. They were bread by a grower called Lyla Kilpatrick in Western Australia. The Duchess was named after my partner’s mother, who sadly died last week. I am desperate to find someone who has it so we can grow it. I’ve got in contact with Lila, she no longer has it and has recommended I try you all at QBS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
PS. Baby Douk was named after my partner, so we would love to grow that one too!

I am a Begonia Society of WA member coming to Qld in July. Is there anywhere you can recommend for me to see Qld begonias while the family is busy at the theme parks. We will be visiting the Sunshine Coast, staying in Noosa and the Gold Coast, staying in the Cedar Creek area.
Thanks.

21/12/2015 In Defense of PlantsThe blue iridescence of Begonia pavonina is absolutely breathtaking. This wonderful species is endemic to the cool, mountain forests of Malaysia. This picture is a nice illustration of structural color. These are not blue pigments you are seeing but rather light being bent by the layered structuring of the leaf cuticle. Such iridescence can only be seen when viewed from the right angle under the right kind of light conditions.
