Came across this begonia at a local nursery about a month ago. Not 100% sure on the variety; the closest match I've found is "Beatrice Haddrell." (Would love to know the actual ID if anyone recognizes it!)
What caught my eye was a section of leaves with pink variegation on one side of the plant, and now a few more are coming in with the same pattern. Makes me wonder if it's a chimeric mutation or something similar.
There's also a fused/conjoined leaf right next to that section, which I thought was pretty wild.
Couldn't pass it up and wanted to share! ☺️

Definitely keep an eye on those variegated leaves and maybe try to prop one or two of them and see if the variegation shows up in the new clones and remains stable.
If so, I think you might have just stumbled upon a unicorn 🙂 keep us posted I’d love to see what comes of it
Propagate the hell out of that. Fantastic discovery. And being a splash variegated plant it will likely come true from leaf cuttings.
