Field Notes

Description:

Very interesting shape to these leaves with lovely green on top w/ silvery specks. Underside is gorgeous deep red.

Notes:

Got this as a cutting from my father in law, who told me it's an "angel-wing begonia", however none of the photos I find on the internet seem to look like the one I have. Can anyone help? I have not seen it flower!

It's a cane-like hybrid superba type begonia, often called angel/dragon wing begonias but this is collective name, that's why you couldn't find it. I'm not a begonia specialist, and there are a lot of hybrids, so can't tell you which one exactly is. Beautifull plant!
