# I’m having a hard time id’ing this begonia. Anybody have any guesses?…

_Posted by MtnJungle on 2024-10-01_

I’m having a hard time id’ing this begonia. Anybody have any guesses? It does have a slight blue sheen on some leaves so I’m unsure.

The stems are dark maroon, the back sides of leaves as well, and when you cut them they stain your clippers with a blood ish color.

Thanks so much for any help.

Maybe a little moe. Go to Steve’s leaves and look you’re bound to find it there.

I’ve looked 4 times .-. I’m not 100% on any of them
