My begonia plant has a bushy base , beautiful leaves. The flowers only come up in the short bushy part and there are some stems growing taller than the rest of the plant. Sorry for the bad description, but can anyone identify the species? Its doing poorly and I don't know how to care for it! :-(

What color, shape and size are the leaves?

The plant is still young but the leaves are like a medium green in color, with a pinkish-brown edge. I am not sure how to describe the shape...it looks like the head of a clubs (as in clubs from the deck of cards)...Could this be a wax begonia? I have been looking it up...

I think it may be a wax begonia. Good luck with it!

could it be Begonia 'Erythrophylla,' the "beefsteak" begonia?
