Begonia x hiemalis, Begonia Elatior

This hybrid species often goes under the names Rieger begonia or Elatior begonia after two hybrid series that were once very popular. They come from a cross between summer-flowering tuberous begonias and the rarely grown winter-flowering species, Begonia socotrana.
