Begonias House Plants

Any help identifying this Begonia?

Hi all - picked up this beauty the other day, but the card only said it was a Begonia. I’m having an unusually hard time trying to place it with a google search, so hoping someone here may know. Currently it’s in my living room with decent light throughout the day, but I can move it into a brighter room if needed.

OK. It's there now. Looks like a Begonia rex of which there are hundreds of cultivars.

Was this from Lowe's or Walmart? If so it is probably an Exotic Angel plant and if you look on their website it would more than likely be 'Rumba'.

Here was mine a couple of years ago showing new leaves and old.

I saw one like this called "Sea Serpent" on a Begonia Forum. The same coloring, but it had a larger leaf- with more points on it. I too have one like this sold to me as "Rex 'Rumba'...
