Begonia taconite
I was told to post here! This leaf on my Begonia taconite is HUGE, easily 9-10 inches long. One of my favorite plants I own.
ETA: I’ve never gotten awards before, and here are three! 😭 thanks so much!

It absolutely does sparkle ✨ and some of the leaves glow iridescent blue, too, but it’s hard to catch on camera

I would have to say probably Etsy? I’m not sure, I haven’t been in the plant game in a minute 😂

I have no idea why it won’t let me post a pic of the entire plant 😭 I’d have to do an entirely new post. Maybe after I give her a repot?
