i keep getting told this is a polka dot begonia but when i do research on begonia leaves i cannot find anything that has the same shape and look as this. It’s similar to a polka dot begonia but to me it looks slightly different…

Looks like the one I had, begonia Rex jolly silver. If you google a polka dot the leaves are completely different
