ID - For This Rex Begonia?

Dallas, OR(Zone 8a)

I bought this plant with the standard generic tag, Rex Begonia Hybrid, but no variety name on the tag. Any Begonia Collectors out there with an idea for a name on this one?

Maybe 'My Good Friend'

Edited to change Goof to Good (iPhone is a bit hard to read at times).

It could also be a juvenile 'Fireworks' since I can see a full size of it.

Here is 'My Good Friend' that I had at one time.

I looked at your picture of "my good friend" and I'm thinking it might have more white on it. This one that I have looses a lot of the white as it ages. You can see the difference between the two leaves. The older more mature leaf has less white.

Do you have a picture of Fireworks? That sounds kind of familar for some reason, are the juvenile leaves redish?

I saw your post on my iPhone and due to the small size (and lack of memory) is why I thought it might be 'My Good Friend'.

Here is what an old photo of a juvenile 'Fireworks' looks like.
