Medora Begonia Plant

Medora Angel Wing Begonia Plants produce true pink and white variegated blossoms on a beautiful old-type Cane Begonia plant. Sometimes also called a trout-leaf , we think angel wing begonia more aptly describes the grayish-green, softly-colored, scalloped leaves liberally sprinkled with splashes of silvery white, showing the yellow-centered, pink and white blooms off to perfection!
