Begonia sutherlandii
A wonderful winter deciduous perennial begonia from the Eastern Cape of South Africa, where it colonizes boulders receiving spray from waterfalls, in combination with mosses and other similar moisture loving things. It makes a great draping plant for containers, and will tend to colonize within the garden because of the little bulbils which form in the branches at the end of the growing season. These tend to fall off as the plant goes dormant, and grow in the garden. Late to get started, it provides wonderful clear orange color all summer into mid fall. Ironic that it tends to get powdery mildew if given overhead irrigation in my garden, given that it grows within the mist zone of waterfalls in habitat.
