    Hello, I was given this plant a year ago and since then it's grown very nicely and is now flowering! It would sure be nice to know what it is.

    Also, I purchased a tree a couple years ago, have since thrown away the label, and I don't remember what it is! It's just started to grow leaves again, so I understand if it's unidentifiable until in full foliage. It didn't do so well in transplanting, so I could use help in helping it to really flourish.

    Thanks!

    Great!! It IS an Angel Wing Begonia. I looked through all the images. It's very exciting, for some reason, to know my plant's name. :) Thanks so much!

    So...any ideas on the tree?

    I don't know...it doesn't look like any of the buckeye pictures I pulled up. It did come with a tag with a name originally, and if I hear it, I'll remember it. But, it wasn't buckeye. I'll submit another picture once it has the full leaves.

    Thanks!

    The tree is an ash Fraxinus - note the pinnate leaflets (palmate in buckeyes).

    I have a begonia like that, it 'Sophie Cecil' (but there are many cultivars).
