looks like B. u002, a natural hybrid between B. thelmae and B. soli-mutata.

That is interesting that it has soli mutata in it's genes. I have two of these. One has had a lot more sun than the other and it is significantly lighter in color. It is almost a light red or dark pink color in its leaves on the one that has had more sun.

well, i think it makes sense given what soli-mutata means: changes with the sun. you have a nice collection, where do you grow your begonias?

I have a heated greenhouse that I overwinter them in. Other than that it is under the trees and in hanging baskets the rest of the time. My wife doesn't want plants in the house. I also have about 15 plants on my North facing front porch.
