Could someone identify a begonia for me?

Posted by Marguerite Ireland (My Page) on

Please, could some kind person here identify a begonia for me? I rescued it from a local store for one Euro, and am hoping it survives. It only has a couple of leaves that were not rotten! In case it's not too plain in the pictures, the colour is a light silvery-green with red edging and veins, and the stalk is red with hairs. I think it's a Rex type, but which one? The pics are the last two in Plant Album, and I'm really grateful to you if you take a look!

Here is a link that might be useful: What Begonia is this, please?

I'm guessing 'Purple Snow'. It should be a light silver with faint purple tinges in the leaf if it is. It probably is young and needs more light. Check the following for a mature picture.

Thanks very much, hemedole. I took a look but the sun is shining right on the computer and I'll have to go back later; there certainly are a lot of different ones! I'll be back - meanwhile I'm indeed obliged to you.

It could be a juvenile leaf of B. 'Benitochiba'.

Elizabeth! I'm so happy to see you back!

That's a lovely Begonia leaf, Maggie-- it's extra nice to get a bargain, too!
