The proudest survivor of all the plants in our household: this angel-wing begonia was originally a cutting from one of my mother's plants more than a decade ago. During our move to Iowa in 2013, it suffered badly in the car and lost all of its leaves and stalks right down to stumps. We gave it up for lost, but just in case put it out on our back patio, where it began to sprout again a couple of weeks later. Not long after this picture was taken, it became a target of interest for our stuck-at-home bored toddler, who experimentally ripped all of its leaves off once again. Now recovered in a more protected room, it is once again flourishing, nearly back again to its biggest extent of broad, dark spotted leaves.
