Super Diverse Plant. There are more than 2,000 different types of begonias, making them one of the biggest plant families. They come from Africa, Asia, and Central and South America, with Africa being where they originally started.

Popular Houseplants. Many people grow begonias inside their homes because they love the bright, colorful flowers. In cooler places where begonias don't naturally grow, people keep them in pots and bring them outside in summer.

Unique Flowers. Begonia flowers are special because they have beautiful petals but no sepals, which is different from most other flowers. This unusual design makes them stand out in gardens and homes.

Tropical Home. Begonias grow best in warm, tropical and subtropical regions where it's hot and humid. These warm climates are perfect for them to thrive naturally in the wild.
