Yours looks great! Anything begonia should go here but sometimes it gets out of hand with other plants, pets, and other odd things. But that's okay too.

I bought one from Lowe's about a month ago which wasn't labeled but it has to be boliviensis (but is it 'Bonfire'?). Then I picked up a boliviensis v. 'Bonfire' at a local nursery that was half the size (and half the price) but the leaves were darker green and were more compact (maybe just not mature). I took some pictures tonight of the two side by side. The one from Lowe's has been in very high light (full sun until 1 or 2 PM) which may be another reason it has lighter colored leaves.
