B. ‘Pet’

Begonia ‘Pet’ ‘Pet’ is the result of crossing the small double Semperflorens ‘Bijou de Jardine’ and the fragrant white B. odorata alba, introduced from the West Indies in 1816. Leslie Woodriff of Inglewood, California, is responsible for this hybrid which retains the everblooming character of Semperflorens. Pet produces no seed but can be propagated from stem and leaf cuttings. It is vigorous and free-flowering bearing large clusters of pink flowers, the individual blooms being larger than those of B. odorata alba.
