Hi Jackie,

'Black Velvet' looks nothing like the emerging leaves - i.e. not much hair. 'Deco Deviltry' is more drab in its grown up life but still hard to get rid of. As for the cork, this is the weirdest begonia. It reminds me of heracleifolia but the fingers are more crinkly and serrated. Again not the prettiest plant but you just hate to throw out anything if you can avoid it.

Here is 'Black Velvet' as an adult.
