More Begonia Connections in Physics Community

Thank you so much for this wonderful and interesting piece. I am one of the owners of Einstein’s begonia, which I got from Scott Tremaine (formerly the chair of Princeton astrophysics), who in turn got it from Lyman Page (formerly the chair of Princeton physics), and although I don’t know the exact steps that lead from Professor Page to Einstein, I trust that from this point the provenance of the plant does not need to be proved any further. The reason I am writing is that James Overduin, mentioned in the beginning of the article with a quote unrelated to begonia, is actually an owner of Einstein begonia, which he got from me! I thought the readers might be amused to know about even more begonia connections than those covered in the article.
