Begonia Escargot

My Snail Begonia enjoying the warmth of the sun room 
                                                                          during the cold days of winter....

Easy-to-care-for Begonia 'Escargot' was named from the charming way its leaves curl back into themselves -- not unlike the shells of a snail, made all the more vivid by colored bands of pewter, chocolate and green; the pale pink flowers are a subtler pleasure. 

......and snow blankets the ground.  The pale blue of the sunrise gives 

a hint of shivery light.
