The Begonia Ferox: A Rare Beauty from Asia's Limestone Regions
Among the vast array of begonias, the Begonia ferox, aptly named the "fierce Begonia", carves out a distinct identity. Indigenous to the limestone terrains of China, its ferociously bullated leaves make it a must-have for any begonia aficionado.
The Ferox sets itself apart with its distinctly pointed leaves, featuring a sharply acuminate apex. Patience is required as the iconic bullae of the Begonia ferox take a bit longer to manifest than its counterparts.
