Name: Susan Virginia (Zone 8a) God is the only thing that matters.
I have been checking into these Painted Begonia's or Rex Begonia. They are mostly hardy in zone 9-11 and the foliage is stunning. I am thinking about maybe growing a few next year as an annual if I can get a few at a good price.
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
