Begonia plant

Abstract

This novel begonia was discovered as a mutation of Nixe, and principally differs therefrom by its appleblossom pink tepals.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of begonia plant characterized particularly by the combined characteristics of bright, appleblossom pink colored, double flowers; short full compact and upright growth habit in all seasons; a high degree of self-branching; round, heavily textured dark green foliage with nearly complete edges; rapid propagation from leaf cuttings, with the cuttings consistently producing four to six adventitious shoots at all times of the year; excellent keeping quality and long flowering period, and by the uniform leaf area on each plant.
