B. ‘Lucy Clibran’

The Gardeners' chronicle, ser. 3, v. 52 (1912) B. Lucy Clibran: (see fig. 171) This and the three following Begonias are of the winter-flowering type, and were raised from Begonia socotrana and tuberous varieties. In each plant the foliage is bold and handsome, more closely approaching that of the tuberous-rooted section. The large, double flowers of Lucy Clibran are 3 inches in diameter, and of a soft pink shaded with salmon and apricot. When fresh, they are said to be tinted with orange, but those shown had suffered somewhat in transit.
