Begonia 'Tamaya' ( Corallina )

This wonderful specimen of Begonia is native to the tropical forests of Brazil. It is highly appreciated for its particular appearance; its beautiful flowers that bloom throughout the year and the fact that it can be placed both inside the house and outside if the temperature is above 15 degrees. It has a stem like 'bamboo (which reaches up to 2m in height) and ends at the top with leaves and flowers. The foliage is particular, oval/ round with slightly serrated margins; the dark green leaves are covered by small white dots, which create a pleasant contrast with the green and give the plant an attractive appearance. The inflorescences have a unique shape to say the least: the flowers have a cluster and hanging bearing, with delicate coral-colored petals, which bloom on the branches and give the plant an eccentric appearance. It is commonly called Coral begonia or Coralline of Lucerne precisely because of the coral shades of its inflorescences. B. 'Tamaya' is suitable for a bright and airy indoor environment but also outside with a temperature above 15 degrees.
