Is it B.grandis?

I bought this begonia in May in nursery as B.grandis (hardy begonia), planted it in shady spot in my garden, but in 3 month it did not grow any one leaf, so I took it inside. Now it's growing a little.
I compare this one with pictures of B.grandis online and see big difference. What it may be? (On the picture it's in a 4 inch pot)
Thanks!

That is not grandis. It looks like it has some listada in it which has been the parent of a lot of hybrids. 'Magdalene Madsen' is one of the more popular hybrids.

I would agree with hcmcdole. It is not b. grandis
