This is Begonia 'foliosa'............so fragile and pretty.....

Looks like B. 'Partita' to me. I just repotted mine this afternoon. Not positive about the ID but a google search might turn up more info.
Also search under B. dregei which I think is a parent to B. 'Partita'

Also, it is a caudex forming begonia and you want to watch the watering on this one. you can treat it like a cacti/succulent - so take care not to over water.

Lali, I never dreamed you would be the one to answer..........thanks so much and I will do some research..........do you think that is why the stem is so darned thick for a little plant!!!!
