Begonia - Common Name?

 

We need a good common name.

 

            By now we know that Begonia amphioxus is a good houseplant.

 

            It just has a bad name.

 

            We need to get serious about naming the Begonia something that is pronounceable and catches your attention.  It has angel wing leaves that are pointy on both ends.

 

            So far, we have:

 

            Spotted Lizard

            Red Dot

            Butterfly

            Spotted Angel

            Red Dot Angel

            Shiny Spots

            Spotted Double Point

            Pointy Angel Wing

            Rings of Fire

            Poison Dart Frog

            Cinnamon Red Hots.

            Confetti

            Speckled Lizard Tongue

  Blood Dot

  Scarlet Feather

  Blood Drop

 

            Whoever uses a good common name first and sells the most plants, wins the game.
