Got this begonia because I thought the fuzziness and eventual silver stripes of a mature longiciliata were really cute. The leaf color did seem to be darkening for a while, with some silver blotches that might become stripes later. However, the biggest change was that the plant started becoming really, really blue! This picture does not properly capture its iridescence. I was not expecting this at all and the seller did not mention this either. I'm not exactly complaining, though! It seems healthy otherwise and there are a billion new leaves coming up, so I'll just continue seeing how it matures.
