Begonia brevirimosa (Exotica Begonia )

Botanical name: Begonia brevirimosa

Common name: Exotica Begonia

Family: Begoniaceae

Origin: New Guinea

Its large, metallic-looking leaves sport bright-pink variegation that demands attention. Each leaf has a glossy, bronze-green background, with pink streaks that almost look painted on.

It likes bright light, but not much direct sun, which may burn the leaves. Like most Begonias, it prefers moist, fertile soil that is well-draining.
