I feel this is not a correct plant identify. I have a purple tradescantia and it's nothing like this? This seems more like a begonia to me? Thoughts? Planta told me it's a polka dot begonia, but I also don't believe that to be correct....

Thank you so much! I knew it was a begonia, there's just so many in the list 🖤
