Fancy tuberous begonias, where to buy?

I really want some more exotic kinds, with contrasting picotee edges. So far all I have are solid colored camellia types or non-stop. I tried fringed and hanging basket, all those died shortly after starting bloom. With the others I think I am getting the knack of keeping them over, but I hate to spend a lot on something that might not make it for me, or canÂt be overwintered as a tuber.

What is a good source? Locally they are around $3 to 4 each, but only common kinds, like I already have.

At Brent and BeckyÂs they are over $5 each, which seems like a lot to me. Am I wrong, and this is typical?

I asked on the Begonia forum last year but over there they are more interested in houseplant types, not tuberous. I thought maybe here, where people are more outdoor growing oriented, IÂd find someone familiar with what IÂm looking for. Thanks in advance!
