Commonly used in baskets, pots or can even be used in the landscape in frost free areas. (Kartuz)
90615	Begonia 'Copper King'		$12.95	Small rhizomatous begonia. The name is a bit of a misnomer in that it really should be Copper Kid or something with a small name, but just didn't seem to fit. The picture doesn't do justice to the strong overall copper color of the leaf. Younger leaves have somewhat shallow lobes but mature leaves are more star shaped. The copper coloring is most vivid in the center and along the central veins and along the sparsely hairy edge. A smaller begonia but still vigorous and easy to grow with plenty of white to light pink flowers in spring. A good candidate for a windowsill, small basket, or just as a potted plant.

90614	Begonia 'Dangling Pearls'		$12.95	While this begonia is nearly the first begonia named by Brad Thompson, it hasn't been previously listed online.

It is also one of the few white flowered canes which doesn't seem to turn pink when given stronger light. Stays small and compact with very little effort and makes a nice hanging basket that is nearly everblooming. Because of its dark leaves, it makes a splendid contrast when grown alongside pink and red flowered canes. Original plant has been going strong since the early 90's, so it should be a success for most begonia fanciers. New introduction for 2017. (Thompson)
69315	Begonia 'Edith Rose'		$10.95	Low growing upright cane. Has small deeply pointed lobed leaves that are dark bronze. Both stems and leaves have a reddish caste.

90638	Ceropegia sandersonii Parachute or Umbrella Plant		$9.95	New! The common name of this small succulent vine refers to its flowers that are shaped somewhat like parachutes or umbrellas.
