A dwarf Begonia from Western Africa, this rhizomatous species only grows to about 3-4 inches.  It has striking red leaf venation that looks especially pretty with a cast of sunlight from behind.  It’s a thick venation, bright red, against lime green leaves.  The edges of the leaf are covered in small hairs and have micro-undulations.  Flowers are a bright yellow.  It can be slow to establish. The plant in the main photo is growing in clay, the two others in brighter light and grown in potting soil.

The last photo is representative of the plants available. They are well rooted and shipped meticulously in their pots.
