# Can anyone confirm if this is a Silver Dollar Rex Begonia? She is…

_Posted by Sonj on 2025-05-26_

Can anyone confirm if this is a Silver Dollar Rex Begonia? She is quite shiny (it’s hard to capture in pictures) and has grown tremendously in two weeks.  
I’m also looking for name suggestions… I like names that poke at the species name. Tyia 😊

Omggg jealous of your Maculata! I actually just found a broken stem at a big box, so I took it home and put it in water. It had a couple nodes so I’m keeping my fingers crossed! MA doesn’t get great selections. I’ve found my best plants at local shops.

Can I see a picture of the Rex’s underside? (That sounds naughty 🤣)
