Begonia 'Steve's Leaves Hornet' is a sibling to B. 'Steve's Leaves Yellow Jacket', 'Steve's Leaves Hornet' and 'Steve's Leaves Bumble Bee' which are part of our yellow flowered series of hybrids. The leaves are cream and pink colored with dark veins. The yellow flowers stand out against the pink leaves for a beautiful and unique display. Like many rex hybrids, the colors in the leaves tend to vary depending on season. Colors tend to dull in the heat of summer but will become more vibrant again as the weather cools.

I've had mine for about 2 weeks now, she's doing amazing! Same pot and soil it arrived in. I supplement with a 10 watt bulb due a North facing room placement (near a window) and we already have new leaves. She'll droop when she's thirsty so no guesswork there! I'll probably get a self watering pot for my little drama queen. So far so good, very very happy!
