Found on the jungle floors of Indochina this colorful Begonia cascades over its container with brownish purple leaves.

Rating for this plant:
The flower clusters, which are not especially interesting otherwise, provide surprising interest when they release their ultra-fine pollen in little "clouds" that look like puffs of smoke.
