    I have had this plant for about 2 years now and it is healthy, so I must be doing something right! But, I have NO IDEA what it is!! I have searched all sorts of data bases and found nothing. It seems to like direct sunlight and the average leaf length is about 4.5 inches. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    You have a beautiful angel wing begonia :) Sorry I don't know the specific cultivar. Someone else will be along soon who I'm sure can give you more detailed info on it. Good Luck :)

    Looks very similar to Begonia 'Medora' (aka trout leaf begonia).
