The leaves of this begonia are amazing! The light green veins glow against the dark green background and the glow is accentuated by the velvety trichomes on the leaf surface. The edge of the leaf has a great little light green dot where each vein meets the leaf edge, like little embedded jewels. The Plant arrived in excellent condition, like always from Logee's. I am working on my culture of the plant. :) I am always amazed by species and what has evolved at the hands of Natural Selection.
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
- Charles Darwin (Last page of "The Origin of Species" 1859)
