Begonia ‘Steve’s Leaves Mother of Pearl’ is a brilliantly iridescent new rex hybrid by Don Miller. This begonia’s leaves are covered in a metallic pink shimmer that breaks up into little pearl-like spots as it reaches the leaf margin. The little pearl effect varies from leaf to leaf; some leaves are solid metallic, and some leaves are completely covered in “pearls.” This begonia requires high humidity and as such can have crispy edges upon arrival; however, the plant remains perfectly healthy.
