The photos in this album were taken in the begonia greenhouse at the Montréal Botanical Garden. They offer a glimpse into the diversity and richness of the garden's plant collections.
The selected plants belong to the Begoniaceae family. Botanical species are grouped in the first part of the album, while horticultural varieties (cultivars) are presented in the second part.
The countries of origin for botanical species are identified (e.g., Begonia thiemei, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico), with data sourced from the Plants of the World Online database. Cultivar names are enclosed in single quotation marks, such as Begonia 'Anna Christine'.
The third part of the album classifies numerous species into distinctive groups: thick-stemmed, shrub-like, cane-like, iron cross, Hiemalis, trailing-scandent, Rex-cultorum, rhizomatous, and tuberous.
Species data is derived from the Montréal Botanical Garden labels, and scientific names are written in italics. The photo album concludes with a list of references.
