This Snail begonia is one of the most amazing plants I've ever seen..................and its mine. Big Grin
It was a freebie on the local site.
Hoping to split it into several plants, propagate it by leaf cuttings and generally, turn one plant into many. If I succeed I'll give them to Lily's Lettuce to sell for charity. I'm sure she'll be able to sell them.
I like that, really interesting. Off to goggle.

Amazing leaves!! Can't believe its real. Big Grin
I can see where it gets its name from! Big Grin
I want a name for it but I can't call it Brian as that's my brother's name (when I'm being polite to him).
Any ideas?
Cargo for shortened escargot, or Pierre for its french side.
I'd just be obvious and call it Curly
Snailis could be a good name
Is that a name????
What a beauty!
