Begonia sp. Lampung — Undescribed Species

*LAST PHOTO FOR REFERENCE ONLY*

From Lampung, southern Sumatra, this undescribed begonia is grown for its metallic contrast and unusually heavy silver patterning. The leaves are long and sharply pointed with a smoky olive to deep green base, overlaid by broad silver-white marbling that can look almost painted across the blade. The bright silver patterning stands out beautifully against the darker foliage and red stems, giving the plant a bold, high-contrast appearance. In warm, stable conditions, mature plants may produce small pale to soft pink flowers above the foliage.
