One of my plants got an award!

Helvete

Helvete

It's a 3 year old angel wing begonia that I've overwintered twice.  It got first place in the houseplants category in the local county agricultural fair.  :D

Congratulations!  There is nothing like getting a blue ribbon in any Fair. You should be proud!
 
Nice Tuberous Begonia. They are one of my three favorites, the others being Tuberous Dahlias and Fuchsias.
Why do you overwinter it since it is a bulb?
 
Hey everyone thanks I really haven't done anything except let it grow haha.  It never has even been pruned other than what dies off when it goes dormant.

They're not cold hardy enough to survive here in the WInter.  Our average minimum low temperature is 0ºF which is more than enough to kill it
