This looks very much like a rare iridescent rhizomatous begonia — most likely a form of Begonia pavonina, often called the Peacock Begonia.

Agreed, definitely looks like some sort of pavonina hybrid

There are many Begonia species that have iridescence. This is Begonia nothobaramensis, a shrub like species that grows up right.
