I saw this plant along with several other begonias at the Washington Botanical Garden, so I'm thinking it's a begonia. I'd love to have a name so that I can put it on my
'got to get' list! Thank you.

Need help with ID, please!
U474 I believe. It has been sold as taliensis but there is another begonia with that name.

This site still has taliensis as a synonym of U474.

thank you very much. I must admit there were numerous plants named taliensis, but were rather different, yet I did find some pretty much like the one I saw in DC. Thank you again for helping me ID this begonia. I think the lesson here is that I should not order it sight unseen!

Okay, I may have been wrong on the ID or rather the web site I pointed you to may be wrong. I just got done shopping at a begonia nursery in the Orlando area with one of the leading begonia experts and he said the plant in question is U475 but that U474 is very similar.
