PENDULA OR LLOYDI 
Begoniapendula, or Lloydi as it is becoming known, has been developed 
to the point where, with flowers up to 3 inches across, it is just about 
the world’s finest plant for summer hanging-baskets or shaded win¬ 
dow-boxes. 
Three tubers are about right for a hanging-basket. Each tuber will 
put out one, two, or three stems, which should be pinched back when 
about 10 inches long; this will cause them to branch freely, each branch 
blooming and extending itself until the drooping mass of stems, foliage 
and flowers extends from 2 to 3 feet. 
Our illustration shows the inflorescence from three tubers. 
B. pendula also displays its beauty to good effect in a shaded rockery 
where the stems and flowers may drape themselves over a rock.
