Plant
- Description
- No. 223 - B. 'Thirkettle'. From England comes this new semperflorens begonia which A. J. Chaney says is a sport of the popular B. 'Pink Comet'. It has white flowers that are an inch wide and grow in small clusters from the leaf 'axils. The petioles are short and the blooms all face outward to give the much-branched bushy plant the look of a white bouquet. It is a hardy grower and blooms the year around. Mr. Chaney will propagate and distribute his plant beginning in the spring of 1966.
