In the center of the leaf are areas of pink running into the veins. This hybrid with its unique markings won the Best New Introduction by a hobby grower at the 1983 American Begonia Society Convention. Rex begonias like a little extra humidity and good light. This cultivar has a full growth habit. The flowers are bright pink. Like many rex hybrids, the colors in the leaves tend to vary depending on season.
