UPDATE: I identified my begonia! Turns out it is Begonia ‘Panasoffkee’.

———

Hi everyone, I need help identifying what kind of begonia this is! This plant was gifted to me and I was only told it’s a begonia. I’m also a plant newbie. I’m having trouble finding a match using the Planta scan feature. The best result it gives me is “beefsteak begonia”, but it doesn’t look quite the same. Any help is much appreciated!!

Great that you identified it. By the way, how did you get the link to Margie to appear in your post? I like that feature but haven’t figured out how it is done.

Thanks! To link Margie to my post, I clicked the little plant icon on the bottom right corner of my screen when I was creating my post. It should be next to the icons for adding photos.

Thanks. I see it now!
