Most Semi-tuberous begonias come from South Africa and a few from Bolivia and Brazil. One favourite is Begonia dregei, also known as ‘The Maple Leaf Begonia’, which was the first to be discovered by JF Drege near the coast of South Africa on shaded slopes in the Cape of Good Hope. The following are examples of some semi-tuberous begonias grown by members of the Melbourne Begonia Society.
