The new leaf coming in on my begonia ferox looks like it’s going to be a stunner 🤩 so many spikes!

YAY🙌 Its happy and showing its appreciation. The 3 down in front are the original leaves with spaced spikes- the rest came in more spike than leaf😆. By far one of my favorite plants.

What a beautiful plant 😍 I’ve had it on my wishlist for ages and finally stumbled upon it at a local plant shop a couple weeks ago 🥹 this new leaf is the first one in my care, I’ve loved watching it come in!!

Wow! Are the spikes hard to the touch or more leaf-like? I’ve never seen this plant before, I’m fascinated by this 😯

It’s such a wild plant! They’re firm cones but they aren’t sharp at all, it still feels leaf-like to the touch!
