Description
Begonia 'Charles Jaros' No. 812-Begonia hatacoa (typical spotted form) x deliciosa 'Charles Jaros' (syn. 'Lowe's rubro-venia') Rhizomatous with rhizome jointed at soil level. Unevenly lobed, sharply pointed, moss-green leaves with silver spots are pink on the undersurface. Measuring 7" x 40", the 6-veined leaves are serrate with a fine brown edge and silky surface. Petioles are green with white dashes; stipules, light green. Flowers-light pink, 1"10", with 2 male and 5 female tepals are loosely clustered at the top of 4" peduncles in summer and fall. This cultivar differs from others of its type by its crisp leaf texture and its habit of branching freely from the rhizome at the soil surface to produce a full, well-branched plant. It does not go dormant like many others of its type. Originated in 1976 by Paul P. Lowe, 1544 West Road, Lake Park, FL 33403; first bloomed in 1977; first distributed in 1978; description first published (under synonym) in Logee's Greenhouses Supplement 1,1979. Tested by Joy Logee Martin. Registered March 22, 1980.
