Begonia vellozoana (I've seen is spelled velloziana as well). Note all the leaf damage - the handiwork of one caterpillar! Squish! No, only kidding, I threw it out side, only to keep seeing the damage continue. Last week I found a doodle bug at the base of the rhizome! Grrrr. Well, it's happy enough despite being eaten! This one grows in a basket of chopped sphag in a strawberry basket inside a 10" ball fruit ripener.
