Begonia nelumbiifolia

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

One of several forms of B. nelumbiifolia, a species from Mexico and Central America with a large, peltate leaf. The leaves actually get larger than the ones in the picture next to the disembodied hand. It's quite easy to grow here in South Florida, and often used in the landscape.

It's profuse white flowers on tall stalks appear from mid winter to late spring.

I am feeling better. Now, at least, the people have been rescued, and they're trying to save the animals. Poor creatures.
