Begonia 'Dotsy' is a cane-like hybrid that has a bushy growth habit. The small to medium sized leaves are bronze and covered with pinkish-silver spots. The back of the leaf is red and there is a small red dot at the point of petiole attachment. The flowers are pink and hang in medium sized clusters. This is an easy begonia to grow. We are trying to figure out the true name of this Begonia and it appears to be identical to B. 'Vernona' which is a Caviness hybrid from the 1980's. We are going to compare the flowers when they bloom and make a decision then.
