R & I bought a different Begonia on Saturday that had the perfect foliage colors to complement the fern. I thought it was "Gryphon" so that is what I picked up when I went back to The Growing Place this morning. (I can't find the plant labels in the garage and I suspect they may have been thrown away in an attempt to keep things tidy) However, I like the touch of red on the underside of the Begonia leaves and think it plays nicely with the Polka-dot plant. I'm hoping that after a week or two of nice warm temps the plants will settle in and mix and mingle like they are supposed to. The lightest green of the Begonia plays well with the Impatiens which in turn speaks to the green of the fern. Then the red from the Polka-dot plant is supposed to create just the right sparkle in the Impatiens. We shall see.
