Rex Begonia Hybrid – Hanging Basket | Silver Mosaic Veining
Luminous, Intricate & Absolutely One of a Kind
This breathtaking Rex Begonia hybrid is a completely different expression from any typical Rex — the foliage is pale, almost luminous silver-white, covered edge-to-edge in a fine, intricate network of deep dark green veining that creates a spectacular mosaic or crackle-glaze effect across every leaf surface. Up close, the detail is extraordinary — the veining forms a dense, almost fractal pattern that catches the light differently from every angle. The leaf edges are beautifully ruffled and fringed, and the stems are a vivid deep red-orange that runs dramatically throughout the plant. Multiple new leaves are emerging, and pink flower clusters are already budding — this one is actively growing and ready to put on a show.
