Begonia venosa

Description

Though maybe a more subdued Begonia compared to the spotted foliage of a maculata or the textured symbols of a masoniana leaf, the Begonia venosa is still a very unique and characterful plant with its green fuzzy ornate leaves. More hardy than many of its fancy cousins, the venosa is able to tolerate a little neglect here and there, and can still reward you with a lovely show of little white flowers.
