Begonia 'Lana', a member of the Begoniaceae family, is referred to as an angel wing cane begonia and is considered a variegated wonder. This grand superba-type cane was developed by Paul Lee in 1973. A tender perennial grown for its colorful flowers and foliage, the plant's angel wing-like leaves appear even more delicate due to the grayish-green variegation that runs the whole width and breadth of the leaves. The stem is cane-like with evenly spaced nodes, and it branches readily. Its long-lasting, dainty, brilliantly colored pink blossoms are brushed with white and yellow contrast. The very large inflorescences on plants up to 3 feet in height make it a real attention-getter.

Most begonias can be grown outdoors in pots, in the ground, or in hanging baskets in filtered light and moist but well-drained soil. They also grow very well in peat-based compost. They like humidity but not cold weather, so they make wonderful, low-maintenance house plants. Begonias can be propagated from leaf, stem, or rhizome cuttings in addition to being sown from seed.

Bush lily makes a spectacular indoor plant, due to its tolerance of low light levels and need for little to no water during the winter. Although it is one of those rare plants that actually blooms best if slightly pot-bound, its roots are perennial, and the plant resents root disturbance (which usually displays as a skipped flowering cycle).
