I have had this plants for a few years now, and I was told it was an eyelash begonia (don't know the scientific name)But then I went to a local nursery and the tag on one of their begonias said (eyelash)It looked very similar in coloring and leaf size, but was NOT the same plant as mine.
So, is theone I have commonly called an eyelash begonia, or something else maybe?

Thanks for any information you can give,
Billy Rae

Eyelash is a common label applied to a lot of bowerae hybrids because of the hairs (eyelashes) along the edges of the leaves. Some examples are 'Kit Kat', 'Tiger Kitten', and 'Persian Brocade'. There are literally hundreds of bowerae hybrids. Yours looks similar to 'Persian Brocade'.
